I replaced it with a small but very strong magnetic closure that has never and moved the thistle a little to hide the work. It has not given me a problem since, and it cost me about 4 bucks in to do.

I guess my point is, when all else fails, redesign!

Mipi,

I think a magnetic catch would solve your problem. If you send me a PM with a mailing address I could send you one. I have several on hand.
