Hi Everyone. I have a 58 ghia cabriolet I am restoring. I looked in books and catalogs of ghia parts but I dont see any different style of latches and yet I have a set of two latches that are slightly different.
On the left (I believe was off my car) the angles are sharper and require just two screws to install.
The right has angles that are 'softer' and have four holes for screws to install. Anyone with knowledge on these?
Thanks.
Eddie

Hi eddie
The left ones are correct for early convertibles. I also have those style on my lowlight vert. The left ones still have four holes. One of both short sides and two on the long side
This is a very unknown fact and I have never found any changedate.
