I dread to think too! do you know whats broken?

 

couple of months ago I did manage to repair one of mine that had failed, when I get a chance I was going to post a note on what broke and how to repair it.

 

They come apart quite easy by knocking out the bush around the allen key hole nearest the middle of the handle

 

Mine had failed because as you move the handle to close, it makes a bar inside work like a see saw, the handle end has a diagonal channel which a stud on the bar fits into, and as you close the handle, it pushes that end of the bar down, so the other end with the hook lifts up and tightens the roof down.

 

My stud had worn away, so I rebuilt it up with weld with my mig, and filed it into shape, it now works a treat,
