[QUOTE="Yowie, post: 1451025, member: 98432"] Bugger! Broke the mechanism that releases the lid from the pannier case. Took a while to work out how to get it open again to retrieve some valuables inside. Started by drilling out the rivets that hold the hinges on the bottom. Then, gently separating the cover from the lid. Then drilling out the rivets that locate the four lock points. I'm usually pretty good at working out fixes, but can't see a way to restore this case to its normal way of doing things. Can't find any info on replacement parts for the lock releasing stuff (not the locks on top, but the mechanism that runs from those locks to the four latches). I figure the best solution is to just buy another case and then just swap the actual keyed locks. BUT in the meantime I plan to re-rivet the lid back onto to the casing and take it down to a local locksmith. Some alternate locking latch/s will have to do for now and I'm hoping he might have some good ideas. [/QUOTE]
