The Foil Drive V2 latches replace the original clips on your Assist MAX and Fusion cases. Foil Drive completely re-engineered this part after V1 breakages, adding more material to stress areas and using a different material. The result? A case that stays securely closed, session after session.
KEY INFORMATION
Reinforced replacement latches for your Foil Drive Assist MAX and Fusion cases.
What we like
- Targeted reinforcement: The V2 was redesigned specifically in the areas where the V1 latches broke.
- Material changed: Foil Drive moved away from the original material, opting for a tougher formulation.
- Firm closure: Your case will no longer loosen over multiple sessions.
- Direct mounting: These latches use the same location and attachment points as the original latches.
- Two systems covered: This same pair of latches fits both the Assist MAX and Fusion systems.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Why a V2?
Latches are the hardest-working part on any Foil Drive housing. They take a beating every time you open the case to change the battery, with every impact against your board, and through every drying cycle. On the first version, breakages almost always occurred in the same spot. Foil Drive went back to the drawing board, adding material to this critical area and changing the material. This isn't just a cosmetic update; it's a crucial correction.
A housing that stays waterproof
A worn latch doesn't always break. It can loosen, which is even more insidious: your housing still closes, but the gasket is no longer compressed as it should be. Eventually, water will get in. If you notice the lid moves slightly once clipped, or the closing click feels soft, replace the pair immediately before a failure occurs.
An assembly you can do yourself
No special skills are required. The latches are removed and reinstalled on the same mounting points as the original parts, using the tools provided in your Foil Drive kit. This takes just a few minutes. We recommend taking this opportunity to check the condition of your gasket and grease it.

FAQ
My V1 latches are broken; can I install V2 latches?
Yes, that's the primary purpose of this part. The mounting points are identical, so the V2 directly replaces the V1 on your Assist MAX housing.
Is this covered by warranty?
A broken V1 latch might be covered under warranty, depending on the purchase date and specific circumstances. Before you order, contact us. We'll open a case with Foil Drive, and you might not need to make a purchase.
Does this work with the Assist Slim?
No, the Slim case uses its own unique closing system. This part is designed exclusively for the Assist MAX and Fusion models.
