: Thanks all.

Btw, the internal bungie to me at least works far better at compressing the gasket and holding the hatch closed than any other means I've tried. It does tend to be a pain in the butt getting the hatches off though, since you have to pry up an edge, there are finger reliefs in the hatch edges ala Nick but then you have to lift it against the bungie tension to unhook it.
