I have a few questions regarding hardtop latches ? I know, I know
Where can I buy them or is there a website From whom can order them from?( other then Matt D./ he doesn't reply)
How do you attach the latches on the hardtop? Do you drill a hole through the roof?( not worry about the hook side of the latch) Is there a gap between the outside layer roof and the inside layer of the roof where you can drill through? I ask because don't want to drill screws through the entire hardtop from bottom to top with screws sticking out the top?
Your telling me no one here in this forum uses the hook type latches to hold the 1/2 hardtop down on the windshield frame or on the bulkhead? Everyone uses the screw on plate right???? Whatever happen to this forum ???

I use the original type attachment....it works. 4 bolts in the back and 5 screws in the front.

My top came from Matt and was carpeted when I got it. I assume that the screw part of the latch was fiber glassed in which is easy to do and very sturdy. The metal top I now have is latched with marine screw latches, three across the top to the windshield and the regular four bolts on each side in the back. If I could get pics up here I would but that's a challenge I have yet to overcome.
