Got a new Ultra. Dam glove box snaps wont snap shut. Its like the metal snaps on the leather flaps r to small to snap onto the plastic molds. Brought it back to dealer. Sent out some young gun service helper with a can of wd40 and a screw driver and popped them on. Got home. Popped them off and wont go back on. I know. something small but cant use the boxes. 22 grand and stinkin snaps dont work. Thats bull in my book. anybody else have this happen

 

They are a terrible design, go ahead and upgrade to magnetic doors, they work great!

 

I have experience with 1995, 2009, 2011 versions- and no trouble.

when riding and I need something, I usually leave 1 snapped, and pivot or rotate the flap off to the side.
the 1 remaining snap makes easier to get the others done up while watching the road.

Go with the locked glove-boxes... NO problem w/ them... Same key fits your gas cap... Easy/Simple/Convenient...

I bought these and love them, I got the whole hog package and love being able to have the options.

i agree - the magnetic flaps are much easier to use and they stay shut.

 

I have had both the locking doors and the magnetic flaps. For those that don't need the added security of locking, the magnetic flaps are a great choice. No keys, no hassle opening them. I had my wallet in there once with the locking doors and came up to a toll-bridge. I don't ride with the keys in the ignition, but stored in the Tour-Pak. Didn't make any friends that day with all the passenger cars stuck behind me...

 

Waaaaaa hahahahahahahaha

It was designed that way on purpose so that you would upgrade to the magnetic doors
