It is a double latch about 4" long. Held in with 2 screws. I am putting a flashing module on my RTL this after noon and will take a picture of the assembly for you when I have it exposed.

This video from sling mods (if the link works) shows how to expose the latch assembly.

I just read your post again? Are you talking about the latch or the release handle ?

It is the whole assembly that is on the side luggage the part that hold the lever it has a lip around it that should be flush.against the bag. THANKS

Longtimer,

I have the back of mine all apart. The release handle is very hard to see what all holds it there. The trim panel slides into the handle and the handle stays in place when the trim panel is removed. I won't be putting mine back together until tomorrow after work. I can take pictures, but would help if I knew what yours looking for or maybe what yours has done. I think the lock cylinder itself has a lot to do with keeping it all together. Is your handle loose and flopping around or just the trim panel not in place?

sounds like the trim panel came out of the grove around the handle. Here is a picture of the panel (I'm holding it for reference). The panel when installed goes into that grove around the handle.

Thanks papa 103 the panel was not slide in the slots I just losen the screws and lower bolt on panel and got it slide in place Thanks for your help one other thing is the screw s that hold the panel on are they like a push pin but with just a screw instead of a pin because they do not feel like they tighten up very tight. ThanksI

There are 4 real screws, 2 behind the strut and 2 on the top face. The 4 plastic screws are really just push pins. They screw out about 1/4" then I took needle nose pliers and just pulled them out. Glad it helped.
