Other than the Carbon Fiber door option does anyone have any suggestions for a better latching system to secure the Baggage Door? Also any tips, tricks or ideas are greatly appreciated. Looking forward to taxi testing in a couple of weeks!

You can find a link to his sight from the Vans website under: Resources/R V8/John Huft/Modifications/Hidden Hinges. I used Van's locking system and it has work flawlessly and if installed correctly really cinches the door down tightly.
