I put my spare hatch on. So much better than the one that was on it. This one is more solid. Now I have struts that actually work, and it latches shut now. This one also has these extra inner latches which are kind of neat. It lets you 'lock' it from inside. I doubt I will use them, but a good idea anyway.
Top picture is of the stock hardware, bottom is of the different latches.
