Sure, you can spend $25 to $125 for latches. But as a jeeper, you should always carry zip ties.
That's a great there with the zip tie

At the jeep jamboree in Bradford Pennsylvania, they had big bundles of long heavy zip ties for the taking in the area where you got to choose trails

I used plasti-dip. No sanding involved. Just clean it, tape it, put about 5-7 coats of plasti-dip on. Make sure to use a razor to trim at the tape line because you might peel plasti-dip off when taking tape off.

That's probably why. You did it correctly, but from what I understand. Does not work on 12 and up. Could be wrong though.
