Description: This listing is for a replacement latch (hook) for the Yakima Skybox series with SuperLatch. One (1) replacement latch is included. This latch is a custom designed design based on the original since Yakima does not sell this replacement part, with improved fitment. It also has more material and embedded stainless steel screws for added strength in the stress points . Save your $700 cargo box buy fixing it yourself with this part. 100% of parts are tested for >200lbs of force without breaking, typical breaking force is >350lbs. Should fit all Yakima Skybox series cargo boxes with the SuperLatch system including: SkyBox 21 SkyBox 18 SkyBox 16 SkyBox 12 SkyBox Lo SkyBox 21 Carbonite SkyBox 18 Carbonite SkyBox 16 Carbonite SkyBox 12 Carbonite SkyBox Lo Carbonite Domestic returns accepted for any reason, but the buyer is responsible for all shipping costs both directions. This is a custom designed part (not original Yakima), and will look very different but fits well and is stronger with added metal screws for strength. I am continually improving the design, the color and minor details of the shape may change from pictured. There are 6 of these parts in each skybox. This auction includes only 1 part. If more than one is purchased then shipping will be combined (pay only shipping for the 1st). All parts are individually printed, the final cosmetic finish may differ part to part due to sanding imperfections or stringing, but all have been tested for strength and will fit the same; the purpose of this part is not cosmetic so minor surface differences will not affect performance. Installation instructions here: https://youtu.be/o8LIP52mrvo. This part is not intended to be serviceable by Yakima as they don't offer this replacement part but the process is simple. Tools needed: Drill with 1/4" drill bit, pliers, Rivet gun with 3/16" x 1" rivets (ideally for security) or 6/32 screw with nut, washers and lock-washers (for lower security). Instruction outline: Drill out rivets with 1/4" drill bit. Remove rivet pieces with needle-nose pliers or small screwdriver. Slide broken assembly (plastic cover, spring, and broken latch) off of locking rail. Slide one side of plastic cover on the bar, then new latch (pointed outward), add spring then other side of plastic cover. After spring is in place you can move the new latch into locked position and move the assembly to line up with the mounting holes. Add 2 rivets to secure the assembly to the outer housing (or screws with nuts for lower security). I have processing time as 3 days but usually ship in 1 day. eBay notifications are flakey so if you need the part quick, please message after purchasing. I generally stock only 3-5 of these parts based on historical orders. Shipping may be delayed for larger orders (not expected for this part) or if many people purchase on the same day.
