got a broken latch on my 99' too. Velcro sounds good, magnets sound better. But im looking for a way to put a lock on. Running a usb intput to there so I can have a hard drive running straight to my head unit. Anyone put a lock on theirs?

Honestly, you guys ever consider changing the lid itself to the Grand Cherokee version. Quick, cheap fix IF you can find it in the JY, but once all said and done you also have cup holders for the rear passengers! And if I remember correctly a thicker cushioned lid...I came across this write-up a month or two ago in one of the few communities I'm registered to. Let me see if I can find it.
Edit* - After a quick google search, I found it hear in the forums! Here's the link...

You would still have to modify that to make the latch work. Read the original thread op said the only thing that doesn't work is the latch. I will say it looks good though.
