BXX Posted May 31, 2011 Report Posted May 31, 2011 Mine flew off the other day, never to be seen again. I used some 3m velcro, two tiny pieces and it stays shut. Otherwise, your gonna need to hit up the junkyard to get what you need. Quote

slick Posted May 31, 2011 Report Posted May 31, 2011 MAGNETS! otherwise pull one from a junkyard. Magnets are exactly what I was going to recommend. Quote
