Front Panel of Sofa won't stay closed

[dmersereau]

We have the sofa on our 2016 Sunseeker MBS, the problem is that whenever anyone sits on it the flex caused the front panel to drop open, it has a single magnet in the top center and a piano hinge at the floor. We noticed this during the orientation over a month ago and Albany RV says they cant do anything about it. Poor engineering !

My wife and I have a 2015 Wildwood 28DBUD and the same thing was happening with our large sliding drawer under our couch. Under warranty, our dealership added another latch. So far so good.

I installed some short pieces of self stick Velcro on a couch drawer with similar issue.
