left saddlebag latch

[arachnyd]

This is a little puzzling,

To latch the left saddlebag, I normally have to place my leg against it and slightly lean into it. Then it will latch. slamming shut doesn't work.

I have gotten used to this, but . . .

If the bike is hot, like sitting in a parking lot hot, it will not latch. I have to fiddle around with it. then, magically it will latch. I can’t say what I did differently to make it work.

I think the dealer had some trouble with this as the pins on the door side are kind of worn, like someone had tried to slam it.

Is there an adjustment for the latching mechanism?

Thank you,
ba

Great, do you have the link?
All I found is the lid falls off and reinstalling the hinge.

thank you all for your help.

does this also apply to my F3-T ?

my latches stay latched once latched.
my issue only applies to my saddlebags, the frunk is fine (sort of)
i have to lean against the bag lid to latch, this i have learned. but, when the bike is "parking lot hot", leaning against the lid with my leg does not latch the lid.

is there a latch adjustment for the saddlebag latches on a 2019 F3-T ?

thank you

PS
i still have not figured out what the wires are for under the plug on the top of the left saddlebag.
