You're right. These are new bear claws, but the big chevy bodies "flex a bit" so the claws, on my car at least, occasionally pop open. So had to resort to McGyver.

I was thinking of installing the suicide door safety bolts but, man it's a big job and I find it easier the easy way. This will have to do for now.
