Keeping the glove box lid closed

[Pickwicked Basser]

What have y’all done to keep the small glove box lid in front of the cooler closed while at speed? My last Stroker I had no trouble with this but with this one anything over 50mph or so the lid flys open. Are there any little tricks y’all use to keep the lid closed so that I don’t have to worry about the contents blowing out? I’ve thought about epoxying a pair of magnets, one in the lid and the other to the hull. Any other ideas will be appreciated.

My first stroker had that problem so I never put anything in it. Once I the lid flew open and the tray (lack of a better description) flew out and I lost everything that was in it.

I like the idea about the magnet. epoxy one in the boat and place a small metal strip in the lid..

Keep us posted on your fix.

some industrial velcro is what i use.. also i've adjusted the hinge so the lid is a bit farther forward..

I also use velcro, it works fine.

Mine had magnets, worked perfect

New carpet. Mine was starting have a problem before I re-carpeted the boat. Once I did that, no more problem.

Mine has opened and cost me several items in the last 2 years, I was working on putting an adjustable spring loaded cabinet or closet door retainer on mine then attach a small metal piece with a detent in it, I bought the parts a year ago but moved and havent relocated them yet, but the one i found on the internet had external threads so you can adjust the spring tension by running it in and out changing its depth, hope you can understand what i am talking about. magnets might be easier but i tried to think of all possibilities without having anything external to hang your clothes or fishing line on?

Didn't realize you was in Chattanooga, I go down and fish Chick and Nickajack 5 to 6 times a year.

I’m going with seadek so carpet isn’t an option anymore.

I’ve thought about a detent but wasn’t sure about it.

I was cruising around 85 mph in a tournament for a 30+ mile run. Got there and had no cooler lid at all. Got a replacement from chub and used lock nuts to keep it from coming out again. Tight carpet fit helps keep it closed. I also replaces my carpet this past fall with heavier (plush) carpet, and now all lids are tighter.
