: Good advice guys, I agree about the screw-in cup hooks. I think I
: will do something like Kurt's except with plywood covered with
: carbon cloth.

: I did build the hatch lips and the combing out using One Ocean's
: composite layup technique. I am very pleased with the results!

: But the two pics that you guys posted show one and two pair of
: "hooks". So am I right thinking about two pair for the
: larger rear hatch and one pair for the front?

: Thanks,

Depends almost entirely on the stiffness of the hatch cover. If it's strong enough to hold a seal with a single bungie it'll work fine. I use singles on both hatches and they hold perfectly.
