    Unhappy Question for RoadSmith owners

    When coming out of a store with a sack full of groceries, has anyone figured out how to open the RoadSmith trunk one-handed?

    NO trick question, Stephen - I'm serious! I have to release the right trunk latch (original) and hold it pulled down while using the left hand to pull the RoadSmith trunk lid open. How do you manage with only one hand?

    I twist my knob and then pull the trunk open with the same hand. The new models have a different, better latching system

    I'll put my video here that I posted on the other board. With the proper adjustments you can open the trunk single handed.

    I think Stephen and I and probably TrikerMike are talking about the newer "better" latching system - no knobs or handles, just uses the right-hand, under top trunk, right saddlebag latch.

    Sure looks like Steve got it right while you and I are both at the same maladjustment. I believe all the possible adjustments are the in-out, side-to-side type using the male part attached to the trunk lid. And it's going to be trial and error. Mostly error.

    Alternative: We take a trip to Houston and meet up with Stephen and buy him dinner. Been wanting to see his paint job anyway.

    As I said in the original post - one hand full with a sack of groceries.

    I would like it to open the way my sidebags did.

    It took me forever just to figure out I needed to shim the inside latching system. Loosen the two bolts at the top, put a flat washer in and then and only then would it lock. That little rounded dome on the locking bar... Aaaaahhh! They just put it there to mess with my head.

    I think I'm going to have to try the "washer fix' on my 2010 Roadsmith. Cuz there's no way it will open 1 handed. Any pics available of your install?

    Here's the link to my install. If you want to go into details you can download the RS install manual from their website.

    Thumbs up Re: Question for RoadSmith owners

    I wrote to Roadsmith about the one-handed opening of the trunk. They replied saying they almost have a new one-handed latch ready and asked if they should send me one when available. If any of you are interested - would be worth a request. :Pepper::Pepper::Pepper:

    They already have a one-handed latch ready locking mech, just is way to finicky. But there's always room for easy and correct.

    GOOD NEWS! Received the free one-handed opening latch today and installed it.
    Works like a charm!
