Folks this might seem like a daft one.
One of my side panels jams on to the point of being impossible to get off. I replaced the rubber but that made no difference.
Any ideas why this happens?

Where is it jamming? At the clip/handle, or even after the handle is unlocked? Sometimes you need to get a pipe and tweak the panel lock spring up a bit to make the latch easier to turn.

If the panel is stuck even after undoing latch, I have no idea except maybe the panel is bent a bit.

It's jamming on after the curve near the tool box.
So frustrating took me half an hour to get it off lol.
