Google Analytics ecommerce product detail not firing when user selects product variant.

[awiggz20]

I'm having an issue with google analytics firing the eec.detail event when a user selects a product variant, which is causing reporting issues for buy-detail-rate in GA. 

User lands on the product page, page view and eec.detail fires. User selects a different variant of the product (different color), eec.detail does not fire. Is there a way to ensure that eec.detail fires when a user selects a different variant of the product?
