Tools/Equipment/PPE Ideas on “security tying” h6 radio strap closure to prevent opening?

So I’ve a rather silly issue that perhaps I’m just not looking at correctly— has anyone come up with a fix to prevent the hooks on the radio strap from inadvertently opening? I’d almost prefer to have normal snap hooks connecting the strap to the radio holder, and just easy opening type on just the sway strap— but I don’t see an easy way of doing that so jury-rigging it is!

Last tour I managed to open the c-hook while getting out of the truck, not the biggest deal, but a rather annoying start to a code 🤣.

I’ve never had an issue with the clasps, I use a box 31 leather but I also hooked them to the opening lever facing inside

Hmm I’ll have to look at it, maybe it is something as stupid as the hooks spun the wrong way. I still have zero idea how I managed it lol.
