Soft top cover latch
« on: March 14, 2022, 14:09:32 »
Discovered one more item that did not come back from the plater. Looking for a latch for my soft top hatch cover.

Thanks

Thanks gents. I will try the eBay one first

I could not find the part on Maniga parts. I don’t know how you find them Pawel!

You need to magnify the picture where you have the soft top hatch, you see the left one only, the right hand side of the hatch shows only the bottom part of the lock.

Pawel

Are you saying the right and left are not the same on the ones on ebay?

They are the same (upper, those attached to hatch). But shown on the drawing just on the left (attached enlarged drawing with part marked).

The bottom locks are different on both sides.

Gotcha thanks Pawel. I could not find this schematic on meniga parts. It will be helpful if the 107 latch turns out to be different.

It is not different for R107, it is the same part.

Thanks Walter. I already bought and installed the 107 one discussed above though. I appreciate the offer.
