Re: Roof latch fasteners

Hi Gang:

Putting a pad lock or a clip on the hasp does little to secure the roof. All that keeps the roof down are the small ledges between the toggle and the roof latch:


It would almost work if the hasp were attached to the roof part, but you can see there is just the minor lip to hold.


After the factory clips came loose twice on an early trip I replaced them with industrial toggle clamps. I had to machine the top sockets from aluminum, but once locked there is no way the roof is getting loose. The toggles didn't come with a hasp, so I added some Velcro straps to keep the toggles latched. They have never budged. Latter I did add a padlock hasp for security in a hotel parking lot, but it provides no roof clamping.

Here it is latched and ready to roll.

Just wondering what folks use to secure their Aliner roof latches to prevent accidental opening when traveling?
