bmw adventure panniers warning

please be aware that the bmw adventure spec. panniers do not have a check strap on the lids. this means that a high wind can easily rip the lid off the hinges. since the hinges cost a blistering £16 EACH (ie £32 per lid!), and we're only talking the plastic hinge here, not the fittings (they're extra) you'll appreciate why i'm posting this. i've also advised BMW UK sales that they might consider a modification.....
