A consumer should not have to spend more money on a guaranteed product. I will never recommend Yakima Skybox to anyone again! This company cannot be trusted to stand behind their product guarantee. Instead of warranting the product with repair or replacement they want to just give me money back. They essentially want me to buy another box and spend more money on a product that catastrophically failed. Instead of replacing the box, Yakima simply wants to refund me the purchase price through the mail because the cost of a current box is $200 over what I paid. Topping things off, I'm in the middle of an epic trip when the box failed. Both the Yakima SkyBox NX 16 Y07335 and the Thule Motion XT L TH629706 are excellent options that look great, feature dual side access, and give you 16 cu ft of extra cargo space. I discovered this when I stopped for gas. I too lost a chair on the road somewhere because the box opened. The plastic hinges warped over time and made the box frustrating to close securely. The other side is still difficult to use because the hinges It broke which similar to you means I can only use one side. The metal latch attaches to a plastic peg. The internal mechanism on the latch broke in the closed position. "a little pain" is an understatement! I have a 16S from Yakima. It's a great way to free up room in the car.

I probably did it wrenching the cover around hard in subzero weather, but after doing the minor fix, it's been fine for years.
