I love this board! Thanks DDB. The pic is REALLY helpful. I'm going to check out the exact spot when I get back to the house.

I will have been gone a few weeks and look forward to that gigantic puff of white smoke that will come out the back when I turn the key.

It is most definitely the VELCRO straps...unfortunately they are poorly made and will fray with time. I bought some two-sided velcro and sewed it into the original location on the top/.

Closes perfectly every time now.

Yeah, that velcro wears out. I just used duct tape to secure it. Not elegant, but so far it works.
