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.

Good guess!...You are CORRECT!:)

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.

Small issues like that are definitely aggravating!:(
