I can't begin to picture the set-up. Speaking of picture......that would be worth a thousand words (as they say). I wonder if some 3M automotive 2 way tape might not work better than the glue. My understanding is that it is pretty tough stuff. My paddling partner who works at R&D for Nissan suggested that line of thinking......I'll ask him again what and where this product can be procured. I remember being skeptical but he gave me some examples of uses. He also told me to be sure when I stuck it on that's where I wanted it cause your not getting it off. Then it would be able to flex with the boat......it's a thought :exclamation

Here ya go!  Edge width of the clip is 1 inch.  They are called "Super Clips" and seemed to be marketed directly to Big Lots ... at least their name/logo is on the back side of the packaging.  You can see the latch release on the upper-right clip.

Well, I thought about a stronger adhesive ... bottom line, I'd rather occasionally re-glue rather than patch holes in my canoe.
