It is true, there are support articles on how to remedy the locking mechanism problems by opening up the mechanism with a torx wrench, etc. We extricated the ski gear but this was a silly, time consuming situation. When one side totally failed to open on our last day ski tour, we struggled over the roof from the other side of the 4Runner to get the remaining side to work. The mechanism on both sides feel like they're filled with cold molasses even on warm days. I have now bent two keys attempting to get skis out of the box. The single key mechanism to lock/unlock three latches at a time problematic. I struggle to get a couple of ski bags inside (~190-205cm skis) with some ski boots/clothing. The hinges, designed to open in either direction, end up bulky, somewhat flimsy (although they haven't broken) and seemingly get in the way of what used to be very usable space. This convenience and security all in one package comes at a cost. I appreciate the concept of being able to open the box from either side, and the three latches to secure the lid (each side).
I'm looking out my window at two older Rocket boxes on cars we own, and they've been going strong for dozens of years. My family has used Yakima products since the 1980's.
