Convertible top cover latch finish?
« on: June 18, 2015, 18:14:40 »
What is the correct finish for the latches that are on the convertible top cover? Cadmium or chrome or something else? I've attached a picture of mine.

I would say zinc or cadmium plating.

Thanks. It's hard to see on mine because its a little worn.
