Nothing like trying to make a poster look like a dumb a$$ thanks!
I believe the first time mine acted up was due to a full bag as well (half helmet). Once it gets hung once, it is just a problem from then on. I may try swapping the flap from side to side as well.

Don't worry about the crap comments, the majority of people on here are very helpful. Sometimes people just make smart *** comments on occasion, I have been guilty of it myself a time or two.

Now the flap has a crease line across it that only makes it do it more often. With the lid tabs engaged and the latch open, I just stick my hand in and make sure the flap is away from the edge before closing the latch.


Same here.

Yea,, I did that lock thing,, and made the crease worse. Maybe take it off and iron it? Or like one of the above posters said, turn it around, so the crease is down near the bag.
