Need Help: My Rear Hardtop Latches Broke

[DodgeViper01]

Well the problem is back once again but this time my warranty is up. Found out that the latches are not covered even by the extended warranty. Now my hardtop does not work and I have no idea what to do. Was on a run yesterday and had to use scotch tape to get home. What do I do now? Called Chuck and nearly passed out once I found out how much they were; ALMOST $500 EACH!!!! Anyone know where I can get latches or does anyone make any? I am in bad shape right now as I can not drive with the hardtop on.

Try Paul here http://www.donscharfautomotive.com/ He might have a wrecked top with good latches..
Good Luck

If the soft top latches are the same as the hard top latches, I might be able to help out. Hey Keith, ask Chuck if they are the same.

99.9% sure that the latches on the rear are the same. Have an extra set? I will be able to double check with Chuck tomorrow also.

Call him - I bought a set ( good price also )

Uh, so Keith, did Chuck say the latches for both the hard and soft tops were the same? PM me if so.
