Anyone have information (or info on any previous post on the subject) on how to remove the rear latch for the targa top roof?
It seems logical to remove the targa trim and I could see the part easier, but the trim does not want to come off after loosening all of the screws. It also looks like like a bolt is accessible from underneath if I could possibly get a small wrench on it. Hoping for something simple I am missing. Any help is much appreciated. |

I was afraid to ask how this is done. I picked up some restored latches from Bruce Stone and planned to do this over the winter. I think I am going to put that plan on hold, I removed the targa trim in the past and replaced mine because it was cracked. It was not fun and something I thought I would never have to do again. The taking off part is one thing, but the putting it back on.......You are going to need a case of beer to get it back together. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)
