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.

I have a 14 and had the same issue .... You can see all the parts involved @ can am oem parts.com .... look for the Fiche' " Luggages " the pic is in the upper middle of the fiche Part # 135, is has the adjustment cable attached .... starting under the trunk lid that panel had to come off .... it's tricky to get off ..... Maybe someone has an easier way ..... good luck .... Mike :thumbup:

Pushing in? When mine is cantankerous, I hold the release lever all the way out while giving the side of the bag a sharp rap with the palm & heel of my other hand, all the way up high where the latches are. Then, when finally open, lubricate the latches.

There are a bunch of threads on this forum dedicated to adding an emergency pull cable to your saddlebag, frunk, or whatever. Search it. Heck you can even use heavy duty string of some sort. Of course you have to get it open in the first place but once you do and add the cable, you won't ever have to worry about it again.

There is a way:
Open trunk, and saddlebag that will open. The two screws that hold the rear panel are hidden by the saddlebag lid. Remove them, and the 4 across the top of the trunk. The rear panel is now held by the saddlebag that is stuck. Gently bend the panel on the open saddlebag side until it is clear. You will see 2 cable adjusters. On the stuck side, loosen the jam nut, turn the tightening nut to take out the slack. Pull lever, open saddlebag. Remove the two screws under the bag lid, remove the panel, finish a proper cable adjustment, tighten the lock nut. Put back together. Call if you get stuck. Joe
