All this because we're preparing to head off to Maine next week, and there are lots of bumpy roads down there. So at least now my wife's door wont fly open, she's less likely to be ejected. I hate it when that happens!!

That's real hotrodding! We don't need no stinkin' fancy zip-ties!
(You should rig up a lanyard for the clothes pin so you don't lose it somewhere in Rhode Island!)
(Edit - you said "Down there" - you must be a Canuck, disregard Rhode Island and insert your own geographical reference)
