Default Hardtop Latches

Hey guys, another hardtop question/problem.
I bought the vis mugen style hardtop a while ago with their hardware kit. While the top is great with awesome fitment, the installation kit is lacking. Specifically the rear latches. So iv been looking around and would like to order some better quality latches for the rear and ones which would allow me to retain teh use of my soft top. The vis ones get in the way of the top going up and down.

Hardtop Guy
Two Side Catchers $410.00
One Side Latch $215.50
Total would be $625.50

Chaser
The kit comes with the entire installation set which i dont really need and i have not been able to get an answer if they would sell me the latches alone and with this price i would rather have the factory ones for 25 bucks more and i dont know if anione has had any luck with these.
Total $599.00

Iv searched the for sale thread on here with no luck. If anyone knows a place where to get these for a better place it would be of great help.
Thanks,
Elvir

OEM is what I got for my M style, can't beat them and its worth it hands down. Don't even bother wasting your money with anything else.

yea i know its quality stuff its just kinda weird paying 1/2 as much as i paid for my hardtop for these, i was hoping that there was somewhere to get a cheaper set than what hardtop guy has posted and im sure his prices are alot better than a stealership

Periodically I see sets go for about half price in the classifieds, but sell quickly as you can imagine. I'd say that they would be a pretty good scamming item for an unsuspecting buyer as well.

haha lmk, If I were you I'd jump on them from HTG, the brushes are useful in completing the mod albeit minor. Just check with him on all the parts. Maybe can get the missing bits off him new.
