ABSTRACT:
A closure panel arrangement is provided in which a closure panel6can only be retained when appropriately aligned with engagement between clasp hooks8and pins9is achieved along with association between latch hooks10and pins11. If there is not appropriate association and alignment then a bias12, 22, 32, 42creates an outward bias force upon the closure panel6whereby the panel6will continue to fall out. In such circumstances, the panel6cannot remain in position due to simply key fit interference/friction association of sufficient strength for non-operational conditions but which will fail during operation due to vibration or stresses.
