Just got mine back last week from the dealer for the same issue. Worked great last week. Sticking again this week.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Try some lube or dry slide on latch mechanism, worked on my 2017.

Reached under and could feel the what you are talking about. Was able to adjust them so easy. Now they open better then they ever have before. Thanks so much for the post.
2020 RTL Here we go again! My left side storage compartment won’t open. I know how the adjustment works, it’s given me problems before. Flashlight, on my back reach up adjust a little a couple times both ways no change, so I pull on the side that goes up to the latch ( not the handle side ) and IT DECIDES to open but the cable breaks inside the harness. I look up the OEM cable replacement and it’s $114.00. Do you guys think maybe it might be covered by the warranty?
I’m in Queensbury NY as we speak at the annual Spyder Quest and have had the opportunity to question quite a few 2020 and 2021 owners about this, only 1 said he hadn’t. All the others had issues of some kind with them.

To my mind it should clearly be a warranty issue, but the dealer is the gatekeeper to all things warranty so I'd talk to them about it before they wrote it up to see what they have to say. If they're being difficult move onto the next dealer since nothing would be in writing at that point.
Just a thought.

:agree: . Or send a msg to BRPcare here on the Forum, or directly by email to [email protected]
Don't spend any more/too much time chasing this yourself, it's a warranty item. There are quite a few having issues with these latches, especially in the 2020+ models. Get it sorted properly! :thumbup:

I've adjusted both sides. Works for awhile! Poor design. Almost as bad as BRP Connect.

BRP Care probably won't help with any 'self help' but they should be able to help you get a case started to get it sorted by your dealer as a warranty item - THAT's the sorta stuff they do, usually pretty well too! :thumbup:
As many have stated, yes there is an adjuster for the cable. The real problem may be that the cable is corroded. It doesn't look like it comes from the factory with any lubrication. I have taken one apart and cleaned the cable and lubricated it. It is worth the time and effort as a new latch costs a whole lot more than a new cable. Here is a Youtube video that I watched before doing this.

Do you have to pull the side case off to get to cable. I pulled pass seat and little panel I can just put very little presure on lever and it opens up try tubing what I could no help has to be cable. Is there any thing to be carefull while getting to cable like plugs.etc. thanks
