Tab

Bob, very often you can press on the black part and the out of position tab will drop right in. Try that first. Joe

Thanks, Joe,
Now that I can get to the screw heads; I'm going to loosen all of them up a bit first!

:shocked: . . .
As I walked by the bike, I gave it a "What the Hell" tug on the latch...
"CLICK" :yikes:
It opened up as if nothing had happened!

"Cannot duplicate malfunction" is the toughest thing in the world to troubleshoot! :banghead:[SUB][/SUB]

Exactly. I had a similar issue, though not as severe. If you close the lid with the screws just a little loose, the panel will fall into it's natural position.
Open the lid and then tighten the screws without moving the panel.

But I guess you know that already..................
Good Luck

Oh, I usually have no trouble; when it comes to making things NOT work right!

We have a saying around here, that pretty well sums it up:

UPDATE: As of last evening; I've got it latching and unlatching properly! :yes::yes::yes::yes:
It could still use some adjusting on where the latches are located, but I'm going to leave it alone for now! :shocked:

Is it still under warranty, Bob? If so, take it to your dealer and have them make it right.

Or trade it in and you and Kathy can have matching Spyders!hyea:hyea:
