I would check with the Chevy Impala or Full size Oldsmobile Convertible top parts vendors, they might be able to help you. If you need the latch assembly it's kind of an expensive part but those people need new latches. It's made from cast potmetal and used ones are always corroded.
Thank you very much Mr Serio, I'll explore that avenue, then.
