[QUOTE="Uncle Hud, post: 1359393, member: 29492"] Zombie thread, but I am here to endorse something that's been said a million times: This morning, like a thousand other mornings, I pull into my office parking deck and open the starboard (uphill) hardcase to stash my Aerostich suit. The lock twisted, then pulled completely out of the latching lever. Thank the Lord, one of the screws mentioned in the above quote -- which I have never looked at for 50,000 miles -- fell into the plastics underneath and didn't bounce onto the freeway during my 12-mile commute. Took 20 minutes to figure out how everything went back together and screw in the little bastard with my fingers. I am ever so lucky this didn't launch my hardcase down the freeway. On the way home this evening, I will stop by my local Ace Hardware, find a half-dozen identical bolts and a tube of Loctite, and reassemble BOTH hardcase locks. I am embarrassingly chastised, and offer this up only as a forewarning to others: DO NOT PUT THIS OFF. Do as I say, and not as I do, or you, too, may find yourself in this situation. [/QUOTE]
