Instructions for Replacing Handle on a Yakima Skybox 16
Question:
Do you have instructions or a video on how to replace a broken latch with a new one? Also, is this an updated part? My SkyBox 16 has a broken latch on one side. I have the key and the lock works, but the handle just pivots uselessly and wont release the latches. Ive read online the problem is a broken plastic pin. Hope Yakima has updated the design.

I attached a picture that shows instructions for replacing the handle of your Skybox 16 part # Y07336 with the part # Y8880348 that you referenced.
This handle hasn't changed since 2014. Depending on which Skybox you have and what year it was purchased this could be an updated version.
