I have had issues with my saddle bag latches snapping off. Last year the right side snapped off and was replaced under warranty. Earlier this year it was the left side, also replaced under warranty. Now my right side doesn't want to open.
After reading Joel the Biker's post about his latch assembly rusting I took my right side apart to see if that's my issue also. Mine are rust free and move easy. Turns out the cable was rusted to the point that it came apart.
Will call my dealer tomorrow to have to have them set me a new cable. I will lube the heck out of it and hope that fixes the issue for awhile.

I think for the 2022 models they went to a stainless steel cable. You might ask your dealer if the newer cable will fit your 2020 I think it will but I haven’t tried it myself yet.
