Symptoms of Fault
Original key no longer working, loose handle, no longer locking the hatch
The Fault
It is very common for individual components within the handle to fail, or keys to be lost
Hard top handles often need replacing due to a single component within the mechanism failing, such as the spring or the lock cylinder. Or the handle might need replacing due to losing the keys.
Handles from the original manufacturers are expensive and can also have long lead times if on back-order. Automotive locksmiths are also pricey.
The Solution
Install our new hard top handle for a cost-effective fix
Instead of purchasing a new handle from the manufacturer of your hard top (which can be very pricey!), purchase our universal replacement handle instead.
Our replacement handle is made of high-quality materials which look exactly like the OEM handles, for a fraction of the price.
If you have lost your keys, or perhaps the lock cylinder has seized leaving the key redundant, then you will find that replacing your handle with our X8R replacement handle must more cost-effective.
Vehicles Affected
This handle is suitable for Truckman canopies with the following specification:
Non-central locking type canopy
With windows on the side of the canopy
Fits canopies with series number M1##### (can be identified by the sticker inside the canopy)
You Will Receive
1 x Double sided canopy handle complete with two keys
