My CG-Lock Broke!

The tension latch came off today! I've had it since christmas, and it has been stellar until now.

BUMMER! And I just got one; need I worry? Has this happened to others? Inquiring minds want to know!

No problems here either. Have had it for just under 2 years.

Well, one time, the cover/lock slid off when I got out of the car super-fast... but, I hadn't tightened it well - and it just slid right back on and off we went!

Mine broke a year ago in exactly the same way. I've got another one around here somewhere that I should switch it out with but haven't bothered.

I also cannot find the tiny parts that are now lost. . . .

But this does reinforce the fact that this is NOT a safety device. . . .

As a vendor for CG Lock I'm very pleased to see the fast and easy service you are getting.

I bought one used and it was missing the screws for it I got ahold of the company and they free gratis sent me the screws and back plate.

They are a great company to work with for sure and stand completely behind there product

New one came in today, Installed it, and all is working great again. The broken one is on it's way back to Bruce at CG-Lock, to be inspected. Most excellent of service from him.
