Re: Why bear claw latches?

i was palming a right hand turn sitting in new jeans and a freshly armor all-ed bench seat (no seat belt it was 1984!!) when at 20 mph the drivers door opened. i went out the door and caught the stearing wheel on the way out with my right hand. i ended up completing the corner while standing on the running board... yes these doors can open when you least expect it!!! that being said i currently am running the original latches and have installed 3 point belts!
