Default Locks for rear latches on hardtop

Anybody know where there is a DIY on this? Looks pretty self explanatory but I'd like to make sure before drilling.

I've seen simple padlocks used but have no idea where to find the DIY on here.

Good luck.

I have heard about it too. I think it's drilling through the catchers but I want to be 100 percent sure.

In the picture you can see the upper latch, just after the bend has been drilled. It's drilled towards the back side and when locked it limits the movement of the latch handle(so it can't be released). I've seen this done before and was going to do it but went with izzy brackets since I never take the hardtop off. It didn't make sense to drill perfectly fine latches.
