This is the second version of my latch modification for the Sinnerbikes hood. The first version (described here: http://www.bentrideronline.com/messageboard/showthread.php?t=83202) didn't last very long and wasn't as convenient. This new latch mechanism only requires a custom-made slotted metal piece and a small ziptie installed onto the visor itself. Unlike the fist version which used a snap fastener, this one is simpler, closes automatically and is much easier to open.

Here are closeup photos of the latch:
