Abstract
A closure panel arrangement is provided in which a closure panelcan only be retained when appropriately aligned with engagement between clasp hooksand pinsis achieved along with association between latch hooksand pins. If there is not appropriate association and alignment then a biascreates an outward bias force upon the closure panelwhereby the panelwill continue to fall out. In such circumstances, the panelcannot 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.
