Does anyone know where i can get a rear latch kit for my RT/10 hardtop. The left one is damaged beyond repair and needs replacing.

Thanks

I think different years attached differently. What year is your RT/10? If you post pics some folks might come up with some ideas.

It is a 1999 RT/10.

Here is a scanned image from page 13 of the owner's manual. The hook is missing on mine and the top bounces ever so slightly when going over bumps.

Hi Everyone,

Sorry to dig up an ancient thread, but I'm actually in the exact same boat. I did some searching but couldn't find any really good answers. I just purchased a 99 RT/10 and one of the rear latches is in the same state as the OP. I can't say that I've had a noticeable amount of bouncing, but I did notice that the hook was missing when I went to reinstall the top. First of all, is this a safety issue? The other 3 latch points seem to lock down fine.

Has there been any 3rd party development with these rear latch assemblies or am I stuck looking at OEM parts? I did some scouring and it looks like the pricing for the latch kits are insane. Any help is appreciated!
