Magnetic Canopy Problems

I have an e-flite brio 10 which is a great airplane. But it has a magnet to old the canopy shut. It doesnt work worth a damn. I was talking to another flyer who had a similair problem. He suggested a rubber band from the back of the canopy to the front of the plane to hold it shut. Anyone have any other ideas? Thanks in advance.

Stronger magnet, perhaps? There are plenty of options at Mr. George's web site:

I had a similar problem on a different plane. I went with a Spring Loaded Canopy Hatch Latch, pics below. No chance the canopy is coming off now.
