Just did more searching and I guess part 60 is the whole latch assembly, according to https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showt...0&#entry6159573

It's going for $100. I guess they don't sell the screws individually?

Seriously why not just go to a machine shop and find a replacement screw?

Here's the page the image came from: http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/auto/j...=SOFT+TOP+FRAME

072 6 SCREW, FLAT (6X16)

073 2 SCREW, TRUSS (M6X16)

I thought 72 too but the quantity req'd, 6, is throwing me off. I thought there was only 4 required?

072 6 SCREW, FLAT (6X16) is the flush screw and 073 2 SCREW, TRUSS (M6X16) is the other screw. You use one of each to mount the softtop mounted latches. 072 6 SCREW, FLAT (6X16) is also the srews that hold the stricker to the windshield frame. Both of these are fairly good size, so I think you are looking for another screw. Can you take a pitcure and post it?
