I use the oil filter wrench to tighten any loose latches. Not sure if this is manufacturer recommended maintenance but hey...I do it anyway. “Do not pray for easier lives.

Looked at the price of new ones and hit sticker shock. *You can also replace the O-rings which harden up after some years. O-Rings 18mm OD 11mm ID 3.5mm Width worked for me. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JGY7VHD?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Recondition the plastic to get them looking close to new with CAR GUYS Plastic Restorer. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071FRWWRF?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details “Do not pray for easier lives.
