Yesterday I had to fuss with closing / locking my left bag and removing the key.
Finally found that the little leaf spring, which is depressed when lowering the inner handle, allows the pivoting lock blade to slide into the recess of said handle, has somehow twisted 90 degrees. This prevents the recess of the protrusion on that inner handle to line up and receive the lock mechanism into that slot, securing the bag and allowing key removal.
Does anyone know of an illustrated parts diagram other than this one:

Thinking that little part number 16 is what I'm dealing with.
I feel I should be able to disassemble it if necessary, and I've tried flipping that little leaf spring (for lack of a better word) back down flat with needle nose pliers, but there's no room. Looks to be less than 1/4in wide, and at mosts 1-1/2in long. That little booger is preventing me from securing that bag fully closed. Yesterday I took the bike out of town for a job, and thought I was going to have to ask my wife to come bring me my spare key - I could not get that key OUT, for the longest time, until I figured out how all the pieces work together.
I'll try to include a picture, but it's dark in that little recess and hard to light it.
Thanks for any insight - searching the forums didn't bring me any lock repair results.
