I am having issues with the removable seats staying clamped into position to the top of the flip top covers for under seat access. This has become a safety issue with more than one person taking a tumble getting into the boat due to the latches not being trustworthy. I am looking for suggestions on how to fix or even an alternative latch style. I think these are just stretched due to age, but cannot seem to find a replacement. I have attempted to adjust and reshape the angles without success. I have attached pics of the seat and the latch I am referring to. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
