Default Broken Vanjen Clamp Latches (with picture)

I have two of these 4 inch vanjen clamps on my setup and the latches have broken on both of them. There is probably some misalignment, and they have been on and off a few times, but has anyone seen this? Dont want to shell out in the $200 range to buy new clamps....just wanted to know if anyone else has had this problem??

Thanks for any feedback.

Movement breaks them. The clamp it self could be a little stronger design IMO. We had one break but we had movement. Solid mounts and better mounting of the intercooler and haven't had an issues since.
