The bolts in the slam plate are 13mm but I made a better updated video on how to fix this. That one explains it better. ruclips.net/video/zwfHQUssUcg/видео.htmlsi=j6rs5a8fTW9xFTzN

Or did you watch that and accidentally click on my old video? The updated video I linked has all the parts links. The washers inner diameter is 5mm and outer diameter is 13mm. The shaft of the screws is 3mm thick.

I never used the key fob to open and close because the alarm was very sensitive. I'm not sure if it will close with the keyfob or not and I've sold the X5 so I can't check unfortunately.

I'm glad it was helpful.

Thanks, appreciate it.

Yes this hasn't been a problem since I made this video.

cheers, I'm going to tighten the bolts first and if it comes back try this approach@@crashboxfly1

Another comment said they had success with just tightening the bolts and using a little threadlocker, that very well may do the trick. My method ensures aliment but there's no harm in trying to just tighten the bolts first. That's what I did originally but it eventually became misaligned again, which is why I figured out to use the holes further back.

It helps but it's not magic. If you have a Grom it's worth doing. I was 240lbs in that video and it definitely made it better. I was using it for a commute. It's still rougher than a full size bike which is what I ride now.

I did a stretch kit and lowering kit 2 1/2 inch and it feels like im griding on my rear tire lol thats awesome ty for the reply i will be buying that rear shocks.@@crashboxfly1

Taking your suggestion I was able to align the latch, and it now works …keeping my fingers crossed!

​@HV71851 so did it work?

Yes, it did.

I tried disconnecting the battery when this happened to me but it didn't help. I talk about a lot of the things I tried in an earlier video. It was only when I noticed the slam plate/ lower latch wasn't aligned that I managed to fix it. Thanks for your input though, the reason I made the video is because I had a terrible time trying to figure out what the problem was and I wanted to help others with the same problem. Any input or tips from other people are welcome.

I can see why that would work but you also might put it back misaligned. The reason I use clips is because it should put the eye in the correct alignment. I addressed the bump stops in an earlier video, they had nothing to do with my specific case though.

Did you look to see if the bolts on the lower tailgate latch were loose?

@@crashboxfly1 .... must the bolts be tightened or loosen.? Which position or stage must the bolts be..?

The upper lock is also not re.acting when I press the remote.?

This morning I am gonna buy a new relay...cause the computerized testing is talking about short circuit....or so..?

@@amingohonneb3331 the bolts should be tight with the latch lined up correctly. If you want to see if that is the problem you can loosen the bolts, reposition the latch, and then see if the tailgate will latch. Just retighten the bolts with the latch in the correct position after.

Great so far. I ride to work five days a week usually and I carry extra clothes, rain gear, and meals everytime. I'm very pleased with it.

@@crashboxfly1 cool. Thanks. Been looking into getting it.

It's served me very well.

Yes this seems to have fixed it permanently for me. Granted it's only been a few weeks, but so far so good. In my first video about this I didn't see those holes in the back that's why I made this one. In my first video I went over some other things people would claim caused the issue just to be more comprehensive.

Maybe try to realigne it without using those two holes in the back. See if you can get it to close by trying different positions. Maybe try to realigne it and close it while leaving the bolts loose. That may give you an idea on if it really is an alignment issue or something else. Let me know if that helps, I tried a bunch of other fixs before I figured out this was my problem. I'm happy to try and help.

The problem is the one original screw on the right doesn’t work well, the threads are done. So I’m guessing it keeps getting thrown if alignment since I’m working only with one screw. I had no choice but try to make it work like you. I might have to replace the piece

Thanks for your help

If you go to your local hardware store they should be able to match that screw for you so you can just get a new one. If you think the hole itself has damaged threads they will probably have a tap and die set or the correct tap size individually and you can use that to repair the threads. I don't know what your experience is with such things but a tap and die is pretty easy to use, there has to be a lot of RUclips videos on how to use one. That would definitely be a lot cheaper than buying a new latch mechanism.

That's the clips that I used. It's just a general kit I keep around because I work on other vehicles too. Most assorted packs of clips will probably have a size that fits. The clips I used from this kit were a little snug but they did work. You might do better to search for "body panel clips for 2022 Honda Grom" or something like that. If you don't want to bother with that, the kit I linked does have some that will work. Hope this helps.

I like having one big bag to throw everything in. It's one less step to throw everything in the bag vs having two containers when trying to get to work. That being said, what containers do you use? I don't know about getting this done for $50, materials are more expensive these days. I definitely could have welded something together for cheaper but all that takes time and it wouldn't have been the same. If you have a video of you fixing the H2C I'd watch it.

@@crashboxfly1 I have the SH23 from Shad. Shad doesn't have side racks for the MSX, and they provide no assistance whatsoever. I did all the work on my own. Took some time, but I enjoyed it. I only use the cases when travelling. Day to day, i use either a pouch, or a top case. No, i don't have a video. But there are a few on RUclips. It's not as simple as on the new model, i can tell you that, but it takes 30 minutes...

@@zefautino Not providing help or information whatsoever is becoming too common these days with a lot of these companies. Yeah I enjoy tinkering and doing little custom stuff here and there. Time is a big factor for me. I'm working 60 hours a week these days. It's hard finding time to get stuff done. I like being busy though, I can't stand to sit around and do nothing.

@@crashboxfly1 Not only companies, i requested help from people around me, no one could be bothered to provide any ideas. But that's on me, not them. I started building a side car for it, but I'm dropping the idea due to legal reasons. I don't need any headache in my life. Anyway, i tried soft luggage, and I didn't like it. It's not secure enough for me to trust it. I need to be sure it's not going anywhere. Seen too many people laying down and never get up again because of a bungee cord or strap... Also, totally waterproof, and I can just leave the bike knowing I have some degree of safety regarding theft. The downside is extra weight. Nothing is perfect. If you decide to try side bags, i may give some ideas.

@@zefautino Thanks I appreciate that.

Some mistakes were made lol.

I think they are so you can mount grab handles on top of the rack. Web!ke doesn't say on their website anything about them. Another use is a tie down point for a bag on the rack. This is in fact how I mounted my bag to the rack. There are five tie down points on my bag and I used those holes for two of them. Hope that helps.

It's a Honda, "weight reduction bro...". 🤣
