Default Update on the convertible top problem

The passeger side of the rear top (on the boot) is not latching. I need a new female and male latch. Where do I get them?

The actual rear bow locks are on the underside of the deck lid.

On the top itself, are the rear box lock pins which fit through the deck lid and into the locks. You can adjust the length of the lock pins to snug up the fit of the rear bow on the deck lid.

If I recall, the pins and locks are being reproduced.

I found what I needed they do reproduce and Ecklers sells them. Price was right for all three parts and rubber washers.

Thanks for the help
