Needing a little anecdotal evidence from the hive memory...

Have any of you ever had a front hatch flip up because you've left it
unlatched?
I've forgotten to latch one a few times and the air pressure seems to
hold them down ok - but maybe I was lucky.

Looking to upgrade the front latches per Jim Wagner's idea:
(http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/g3573-push-to-open-hood-latch.html)
- and just wondering if I really need to add a safety catch like Jim did.

I'd have to have one flip up and become an air brake at 65mph. My guess
is it wouldn't stay attached for long.

Thanks in advance,
Kelvin
