[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 639628, member: 52972"] The piece that pulls the cables is a thin plastic hook and is about as thick as your finger nail. The tip of the hook will break off and jam inside the housing and will not allow the cable to retract and thus the latches cannot lock because the cable is jammed in the open position. The only thing you can do is cut the plastic rivets off the cable housing that attaches to the bottom or the lock cylinder and remove the cables from the jammed unit. This will allow you to lock the tonneau cover but you will need to order a new cable housing which includes new cables attached to the lock housing. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
