Default Help with cheap convertible latch purchase

I need some help in locating a cheap latch for my convertible. My left one broke today.

If you have any advice or suggestions on replacing it or where to buy please let me know.

Honda wanted to charge 160 just for the latch and 99 to tell me how much it will cost to put it in, So please if you have any advise for the install/removal process please let me know. thanks

My drivers side latch broke as well. The piece of plastic that keeps it from falling open had broken, so I resorted to rubber-banding it to keep it together.

Just keep an eye on the board, I was lucky enough to find somone who'd purchased a used top, and didn't need the latches. I bought them from him and it was a 5 minute install with a screwdriver.
