Top Hinge and Lock fitting

[PrestonUSA1]

Hello FCBO,

Can one of you provide a source for getting some aftermarket or OEM convertible roof lock assemblies, both windshield and top lock?


1968 Chrysler 300 Convertible

Best Regards,

Preston

It Depends on the year...and type of car

I have seen quite a few of them listed on ebay - not cheap though.

Here are the latches:

You may want to try Murray Park or National Moparts for the pieces these attach to at the header.

Not that it would affect your application but 69's and 70's are not the same latch as the e-bay ad suggests on a C body.

top latch

Here is a pic of a top latch I removed from a 69 300.
Much different then the pictured latch in the ebay ad.

and those are not reproduced, thats a desireable and elusive part when needed.

The latches I posted are correct for his application, a '68 300 'vert.

Yes it does. I felt the need to clarify because the e-bay ad says it would also fit the 1969 and 1970 models and it does not.

Good point. Damn eBayers!
