Hi,
I have a 1969 base convertible. Went to put the top up last night (its getting cold out!) and when my passenger side latch wouldn't close/engage as if something was jamming the works. I reached up to jiggle the j-hook and the hook and spring fell into my hands. Apparently the "pin" that keeps the hook on the latch is missing. I've looked all around my car and driveway and simply cannot find it.
I've looked around the internet for parts and can only find complete latches. Unfortunately I do not have any experience with convertible tops and for all I know this piece/pin is something common (I hope). I can't see enough of the assembly on the driver's side to figure it out either.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
