Truckman top

#1 by Tonyl200 , Fri Feb 21, 2020 6:46 am

My truckman top refuses to open, key turns through 90 degrees handle then moves about 30 degrees you can hear the pins trying to move but thats it, only 8 months old any ideas before i break the handle or smash the glass as a final resort. Thanks

Whatever you don't break the glass!. If its canopy purchased from new , contact the seller , no way a lock should stop working after 8 months, other alternative would be to drill the actual lock out , completely , so slowing working up to a larger size , or a point where you can wedge something in to turn it ....sounds like the spindle is rounding off to me


Thread locking available here...no fee!
