I had the same problem with my Bestem top box.
The bottom of the box gets pushed back up by the little rubber bumpers before the latch clears the catch, so the case does not lock in place.

If you cut 1/8" off of the two bumpers nearest to the latch, it will probably lock fine.

I have two Ebay top cases and I am not happy with either of the latching mechanisms. Its Givi from now on for me.

Ended up just bolting my JC Whitney trunk on my Givi rack after the first one jumped ship on me...

Yeah that scares me considering when we commute there is usually two laptops, my wifes purse and a couple of expensive phones in our top case. I just don't trust the JCW latch so I will be replacing the trunk with an E45 Givi when I can.
