Stacey Posted March 26, 2022 Report Share Posted March 26, 2022 I went and looked at mine on the 1991, and I have to guess it is a GM type latch, but have no absolute knowledge, so guessing a Renualt #3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plwindish Posted April 1, 2022 Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 Renualt. I had an '89 convertible and the left/driver's side latch would always loosen up gradually from traveling down the road. I got into the habit of pushing the latch forward every few miles when driving distances. I tried tightening the screw holding the latch to no avail. The latch, even though it tightly secured the top, would work itself loose over time/distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
