If the latch didn't actually break, can't you just put another sping in?

Alright, send me one of your girlfriends from *******, and i'll send you the latches out of my rt/10, I'll even pay shipping as long as the girl arrives in a bikini.

bump...anyone know?

Chuck Tator would know if there's a part number for the latch and, if so, get you a VCA discount as well. Actually, according to this site, there are latches available but damn they are $$$: Mopar Parts for Dodge, Chrysler and Jeep: MoparPartsAmerica

OK,so now the right side hardtop latch ball bearing came out.I just paid $250 for a new left side latch 2 months ago. 02 rt-10.

now what? I guess it still locks? but you have to push the heck out of it to get it to lock,barely.The ball bearing- what does that do?

The trick to keeping these latches together is to first get the adjustment right. The back half of the latch has a locking nut that can be adjusted so there is only a small amount of play in the top when latched. Once adjusted, locktite the nut. This will keep it from loosening up and falling out.

thanks,Dan.I still have the ball bearing..but I am assuming you cannot put it back inside the latch assembly?

Call Jon at Parts Rack as I am sure he has new and used ones available.
