Convertible Top Latches

Post by Nitrate »

Aside from the distance between the mounting holes (30mm and 40mm) is there any difference between the two? Possibly the length of the latch, the amount of pressure it exerts, the geometry of the mechanism? Any difference at all? RB

Earlier latches have a thinner pin that Inserts into the sunvisor.

Thanks Riverdadd. I did not know that. More specifically I was wondering about the Latch fastened to the convertible top. Any differences? Length, Closure strength, Geometry? RB
