How to fix your hard to close Rear Trunk and side bags

[Sopher]

This one doesnt need a video. But your imagination will may be harmed or at least strained...

For the rear trunk:
find the two pair of torx bolts on either side of the lock receiver on the "fender". (Hint: trunk must be open)
loosen those bolts. Now push the plastic edge of the "fender" in as hard as it will go. tighten up each pair of bolts. repeat for both sides. May need to have all four loosen at the same time and then tighen all. This fixed up my trunk latch close issue.

For side bags:
Similair to above, loosen bolts around lock receiver. Push plastic inwards and tighten bolts. test with side bag closure.
Repeat for other side.


Both have worked for me 100%:yes:

Right on!!!

Defintely will try, closing those things drives me wacky!!:shocked:

 

[clueless]

just dont slam them and close then push them to latch firmly

a good hip push on the side bags closes them every time... just gently close and then a push

same with back trunk

When the salesman first show me the RT , he tried to close the sidebags it made me laugh. He had no idea what to do, kept fighting with them,slamming them... HE was good at hipchecking them though. The hipcheck works.

Good tip, it should be passed on to all BRP dealers and the top brass @ BRP.
