Alrighty then, I did search this but did not find an answer I'm looking for so I decided to ask some of my Florida buddies.

So the other day I picked up a girl who has been in my car numerous times. She asks me to put the top down so I unlatch my side and secured it and the bimbo next to me did the same... except she didn't secure it. So as I was lowering the top and it came to the end I heard a heart-breaking SNAP. So after crying and trying to stay calm I raise my top and a little piece of plastic falls on her lap and a 2 inch hole is right above the passenger latch. That little piece of plastic is what *clicks* when you latch the top up, so now I have to ghetto-rig it by using a rubber-band to keep the latch from moving when the top goes up and down. Thank god the top is being replaced this weekend so no biggie there . BUT, I called Honda of Ocala to get a price on a replacement latch.. $189 . Does anyone have a direct link where I can buy a cheap/used latch?

Ooooorrrr, if someone would like to donate to the FL S2K Foundation of Convertible Top Latches... it would be appreciated.


And a lousy camera phone picture of the damage... don't forget to secure your latches

 

Bump for help

 

Ahh another ocalian eh? I was born and raised there but moved to tampa for college about two years ago. Ive been meaning to hit up the ale house with the Marion country crew...good luck with the latch man!

 

did you try Hardtop Guy?

 

When I bought my car both latches were like this and I used rubber bands for a week until I got latches. My cost from courtesy honda was $98 each. try HTG I bet he has a good deal on them.

 

bump for help . anyone had the top on their cars cut and replace ?? A good reson to be a pack rat LOL , J/K . I would try to contact some shops that have replace tops for people that have had the seats stolen .
