.........has broken this afternoon!

We used it the other weekend, fine.  Been packing this weekend ready for France very early on Thursday morning and one of the struts has snapped off.  It was not overful or overloaded.

We rang the Roofbox company and funnily enough they knew straight away what we were on about, so I wonder how many other complaints they have had?

Fortunately we can still use it, but it does make opening the lid a bit more difficult, and seeing it is on top of a Freelander, it's not the easiest thing to reach!

Thanks Mulligrubs, sounds a good solution, but how do you get the Hydraulic arm condensed enough to do that?

Hi Mulligrubs, thanks for this, we'll give it a go,

Thanks acce1arator, we'd already spoken to The Roofbox Company who sent two replacement struts without question, so they are used to this.  But now we can see the pics, we are going to have a go and adapt ours.  Fortunately it worked fine whilst we were away, but it could happen again.

Thanks again,

Jane
