HD Bags wont close properly

Looking for advice out there....I recently started having problems with my stock HD hard bags on my FLHT Ultra. The bag on the right side will not "snap" or close with that disticive"Thud" when you know it is closed. I do not want to force the handle down, but i cannot ride with the bag not secure either. Any ideas?:witsend:

Thanks for the reply. I have checked those out. Not bent. I have compared the left side bag to the right side. both look the same. All clips look alike. Will try again tomorrow.

It's the fabric strap holding the two together. Try holding it back in place and shutting the bag. I had the same problem.

Also check the alignment of the seal to the rim without trying to push the lock down - the lid should align on the bottom rim - if it doesn't the bottom could be warped from the mounting screws not being aligned - if this is the problem try loosing the screws and retightening them - this just happened to me down at thunder beach cause I had to much stuff in the bag and it threw it off just enough to cause the problem your describing.

It wasn't the strap. Took it off, still did it. I completely removed the lock assembly to find 4 mounting holes. I redrilled them slightly higher than the originals. reassembled. fixed! Lock works like new. the bag probably did become mis-shapened, in the first place. Thanks for the help everybody.
