Malcolm,
Thanks I took it out & sort of pushed the handle up & it released, & worked fine. Not easy to figure out while installed? I lubed it once about two weeks ago, since I only have it for about a month. Once taken out I lubed it much better with good results.

Thanks Again,
Greg

  Is it properly greased and oiled??? It uncrews you know, and you can take it out and look at it. Malcolm

  Volks,
  The Pop-Top lock latch on my 86 Westy seems to be stuck in the open (unlocked) position. It's been acting up the last few times I have used it. It opens fine, but when I pull down to lock it the latch does not lock it just stays in the open position. If this has happened to you or you know a solution I would really appreciate the info it's starting to rain & I would like to secure the top to prevent water from entering?
  
  TIA
