Seeking: Help! - Bungee arrangement for Leidy Hatches

Hi everyone,

I am debating if I should use an individual bungee loop for each of the four hooks (hatch side) for the internal bungee hatch hold down. Alternatively I could use two bungee loops which go around two hooks (hatch) each. The first option has higher hold down strength, but may be harder to open. In addition it provides more safety in case one mount comes off. The second option requires only lifting the bungee of one hook. The getting the bungee off the second hook is much easier.

Any thoughts from people using this system actively?

Thanks in advance - Andreas
