Other: Hatch hold down system

Hello All
I just cut the hatches out on my new OI, and I am leaning toward using a bungie system and I'm looking for some feedback from from builders who have gone with this method. I guess my main concern was if they are water tight. On my Guilly, I went with the standard buckle arrangement and I have always had leak issues, though its more a problem with the gasket than the straps.
Thanks,
Dave
