Default Hardtop Latches

Does anyone know a company/person selling any hardtop latches, that can also deliver to Canada?

I recently installed my Forbidden USA hardtop, and want to replace the stock soft top latches with better hardtop ones.

I can't find any vendors selling them, and was wondering if someone knows?

The latches on the roof, or the strikers that are mounted to the windshield frame? Both are available at any Honda dealer. You won't find a vendor selling OEM because they only sell aftermarket stuff. You can buy aftermarket hardware that does the same thing though.

I want to buy aftermarket latches. I'm sure Honda only sells the stock ones.
And yes, just the latches. Unless I will need to replace the strikers as well.

Im currently using my stock soft top latches.
And I've heard people replacing them with hardtop latches. I just don't know who sells them.

My hardtop didnt come with the latches, so I had to use my stock ones right now.

I had some fitment issues when I bolted my stock ones to the hardtop before installing the hardtop to my car.

The stock ones seem too long in length from how the hardtop was designed.

You can buy OEM Softtop latches, OEM Hardtop latches, Izzy brackets, or Alloy Craft. Izzy and Alloy Craft can be purchased through vendors on this site.

I have the Alloy Craft brackets and am very pleased with them.

Keep in mind the aftermarket options are solid mount pieces of metal. They are not removable without tools and not compatible with a soft top. I upgraded because I don't have a soft top.

Good luck.
