[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 2163611, member: 42691"] I've found if that spring is broke, or out of place, you will know if you give the handle a good tug. If everything is OK, it won't pop out. If it DOES pop out, usually that spring is above (if I remember right) that small round pin at the base of the slot. I know, I know, this should have pics, but when you pre-trip after you've snagged the back box, and tug the dolly handle and it slides easily out of the hole, that 6 or 8 inch bar below the handle is above that pin. If you have a screwdriver, you can flip that bar below the pin and the handle will stay put. This all looks confusing in print, I know, but what we need to remember, is if, after you're hooked, you tug on the dolly handle, and it pops out of the slot, you've got a problem, and most likely, it's just that little bar above the pin, instead of below it. Always tug, and if it comes out of the groove, head to the shop. Bottom line, if you can jerk that dolly handle out of the slot without pulling it UP, it wouldn't take much, say a stray air line, to pull that handle towards the driver's side. If that happens, you better be looking in your mirrors, because you'll need to tell the tow company where to pick up your back box. I'll see if I can take a clear picture of that 6 inch bar and the little pin it hooks below tonight and post tomorrow. And, of course, I'll make sure I'm on my meal while I do it. HAHAHA. [/QUOTE]
