My Ortlieb bar bag has snaps. I 'd think that a sail maker/repair or awning maker could install snaps and they would still be waterproof. Also contact Wayne at the Touring store for information about a fix: TheTouringStore.com, Ortlieb Panniers & Packs, Tubus Racks, Lone Peak Packs
Yes, you were there ... and Rowan got one with snaps, which seem to be a much better idea now than the magnets. Rowan and I just briefly talked about the idea of changing my magnets to snaps, so thanks for the link above.

As for getting magnets that are stronger ... or glue ... I do still need to open the bag to get at my stuff.
