Hey Don, unlike the plastic 7-way plugs the Pollak part # PK12702 does not have a raised edge that the lid of the 7-way socket would be able to grab onto. So it's doesn't have a latch built into it that prevents it from staying in but generally these fit tight enough that it's not an issue.

Hey Don, how did the fit of the Pollak metal 7-way connector work out for you? Did it stay secure even without the latch feature? Your update could make it easier for the next person with the same concern.
