I think the problem is cheap offshore repop latches. Even an original VW latch would be better.

Those repop latches can be found for $10 or so. Here’s one for $4

Oh well, this sucks to hear. I have the Screaming Performance piece as well. As far as Lokar, they make the cable assembly, but not the latching mechanism.
