Greetings All, Nice info from the hatch gasket from CD - what about replacement latches? Is CD the way to go there or are there better ones out there? (The hinges are fine)

Thanks in advance

Have not had any problem with the latches themselves although the o-rings at the base of the latch will harden or crack with age and allow water through, particularly in a heavy rain. We discovered this several years back, installed replacement o-rings from CD and apply a thin layer of silicone to them each spring. Haven't had an issue since.
