If you open the hood (roof) of your (early) Volkswagen convertible, these latches have been used to secure that the top stays firmly down and don't dance the whole drive around... this is important to eliminate play on your hinges and rods of your top frame. But because this gives a lot of stress many of the original latches have been rattled loose, plied, broken or are simply missing. We now have the perfect solution with these brand new pair of top hold down latches, exactly like original, nicely chrome like original, and perfectly working for a real affordable price.
