The height of the lugs is the primary culprit.

The following website has easy-to-follow fixes for anything that ails the Contender & Encore.

Yep .....locking bolts haven't quite locked in under the shelf. Just for grins try snapping it closed with a bit of umph....firmly. Then see if it will cock.

Glad it worked out. Also, TC will generally send you a set at no charge. I should have mentioned that earlier, but my brain seems to be on vacation lately... Smiler
