Might be easier to get a dinged up side case with the latch itself. Are you talking about the latch on the case or the piece it latches to on the bike?
I believe there is probably no glue that can fix the orange part; there is just too much load/stress going through it.
Starting to believe that's the case. And finding it incredible that the only way to buy that stupid 35¢ part is to buy a $250-300 assembly.
In a case of "too good to be true", the asshole sent me a "new" kit which included all the parts from a recall that had been done in a recall kit box - including (not making this up) the rivets that had been drilled out. Red latches, the whole bit. 100% pure junk. Fighting to get a refund now.
Side note: you can't leave negative feedback on a "power seller" on eBay for 10 days. Exactly who are they protecting? eBay is turning into craigslist with better graphics. A true cesspool.
Square one again.
People suck.
That sucks, man. I’ve gotten hosed from eBay a time or two myself. Most of the time, they do protect the buyers. Hope you find the latch you need. I’ll keep an eye out myself.
I did some searching... I feel your pain.
Here’s a thought. Since you have the eBay latches in your possession, can you dismantle the latch and fabricate a duplicate piece out of steel? If you can’t do it, maybe you know someone who could.
The devil in me says send him back your broken latch and claim it was busted, but that would be dishonest...
I am using them too, although I think there is very little chance of losing a bag on the gen2 (since the latch recall/tweak). Since I never remove the bags, it was cheap insurance. Of course, a zip tie is even cheaper insurance
