When my latch broke I replaced them with the premium latches. Wish I hadn't. The premium latches don't hold as well and the plungers in them wear out. I'm thinking about going back to the stock latches but there will be marks and holes left from the premium latches.

Did not know that the plungers wear out. Thanks for that info. I had just the opposite experience with the hold. My stock latches never fit right and had to be locked while my premium latches fit perfectly. Again good to know about the plungers. Wonder if they can be rebuilt or simply cleaned?
