Check out the pic.

The cases were too much $$$ for what they are. But I figure that if something *doesn't* get ripped off, the $62 was a decent $pend. I've got another $25
in the latches and glue, although I bought three sets and only needed two. And I still have glue left over. I found the rubber pads that are affixed to
the bottom of the cases inside the cases. So, I used them to get decent height so that the tops would swing without hitting the floor of the bed.

Also, I put hidden, small chunks of velcro on each of the handles so they wouldn't flop around and sound like a popcorn machine while I was driving.

Where I pierced the cases to push the spring-loaded pins through, I glued appropriate sized washers so the pins would "ride" on metal and not on the
flimsy case material.

Silly personal mod. I've spent eighty bucks on worse things in my life.
But I ain't talkin. That was then. This is now.
