I noticed the clamps that hold the cover on are attached to the box by rather thin plastic loops - do they snap or break off easily?

One clamp snapped on us after nine months. I did notice a friend has lost 2 out of 4. Cheap plastic. The thing still works even with just two clamps. The trick might be to try not to open and close it too often.

We haven't had a problem with them. We leave the weights in the bottom, so we don't use them too often though.

The whole thing was in pieces after a couple times playing- very disappointing.

Yes the cover is very flimsy . The only coice is to close it with. Scoth Tape. Good luck

Mine came off once, but I was able to just snap it back on and it's stayed on since then. Hoe this helps.

They use clamps that look like bolts stuck in metal blocks. Slide them on the rails, put the cover on and cinch down.Only problem will be the Tacoma hold downs...you cannot use on the sides anymore with this cover. I installed mine in the back (near the window) of the bed to use. Love the cover.

I posted a photo of my clamps, mine have, at the very least, a thick plastic shell. It is not the nice metal ones they show in the picture. I am not a fan of the plastic ones. They work well but I'm worried about durability and I feel I paid for the steel ones.

Funny, you probably superglued it on (like me), since it comes off so easily! Lock down the clamp on the post, and on the head, then rip the bugger off!

I have had mine for two years no problems adjust the clamps to fit very snug

I haven't had a problem with the lid coming off. You need to push it untill you feel the 'click' engaging. Maybe stretch out a couple of paperclips, clip one end through loop on top and other through the mesh?

I removed the cover on mine years ago. It eventually broke after hundreds of open and closings. Besides it kept pinching my fingers when I closed it. All I had to do was tape the micro switch to the on position.

I don't think any box like this is really secure. Either you could pick the lock with a paperclip or a screwdriver would force most open. Mostly, the fit and finish was poor and eventually the locking tab broke off. Not much good after that. Also, the handle didn't was to stay on. The "rings" that went from the handle through holes in the lid were sized poorly enough that after some movement one side or the other of the handle kept coming off. Eventually, I just locked it and carried it underneath. Not fun when I am carrying everything else in and out of my store. I replaced it with a SentrySafe model that's similar and am much happier with that one. I don't think any box like this is really secure.

The clips plastic stretches easy but if stretched too much it might snap. I don't recommend you using it with an otter box. I have a normal case and it's risky even placing it on top of that. Hope I helped you out!

the back snaps into place. I have not tried to remove it but would think it would snap out again.

It should just snap off and on. I pulled off my cover with my fingers and I installed the new cover by just pushing the new one on and it snaps in place.

Mine doesn't snap in place either. My son pulls it out all the time to play with it. It hasn't broken yet and he's pretty rough with it.

I recently ordered this chair. The clamps are made out of rubber type material with grippers. This design makes it clamp on very tight. Now, if you are going to leave the chair installed all the time which is what I do, you might want to check if it still hold every time you let your kid in (just as safety factor)

Hey Tom: I'm not sure personally that I would trust clamps to hold this on, especially if you are hauling a canoe or kayak(s), which could catch a lot of wind and create significant shearing force that could destabilize the rack and cause it to slide off. I'm not physics major or engineer, but that's my two cents.

Not at all..it snaps off pretty easily when you are ready to change it out.
