I like the sound of bear trap better! That baby ain't flying open going around a corner.
The bear claw latches require some sheet metal hacking to fit them in. I know a local hotrod shop that uses them on all of their modified ADs. They work.
BTW, do you know what hurts worse than dropping your drawers in the woods to do your business and sit on a bear trap?

I used the Trique bear claw latches on my sub and they work good but are a little hard to install.They want to interfere with the window track.
