Mine rattled apart. I think I have all the pieces, but can't figure out how it all goes together. A picture is worth a 1000 words....
Talking about the pull latch the keeps the rear bench seat down when it's in the seat position. Thanks |

My seat stays down thus I don't feel the need to latch it (nor un-latch it).
You might consider quitting while you're ahead?

Agreed on the latch delete.
Life is easier when lifting the bench seat is a one handed affair.
I'm just hoping I don't have a rollover that releases the contents (mostly apparel and footwear but also some clunky things) into close orbit.

I have a perfectly working latch, however I cannot find the metal hook/loop that slips into the latch. It appears to be a 3" center between the screw holes. I can't see to find anything online that fits where the original metal loop goes. Any ideas? Amazon has a lot of "eye strap loop" items but none seem to match the size of the original loops (shown from another post)

I store some heavy stuff under the seat and want to avoid it flying into my head if something bad happens.
