Has anyone used or designed a better latch (more positive locking) to
support the doors against the wing when held open? I know about
using a small bolt to squeeze the nylon latch from the kit (doesn't
always work,) as well as Vince Butner's mod to support the doors with
gas operated struts (taken from a small Ford hatchback, I think. -
too heavy and they get in the way sometimes)

I am just looking for something simple and light that will positively
prevent them from falling at an inopportune time.

TIA,

Gary L.
