I replaced a back vent window last night and broke the black latch in the process. Can anyone spare a good latch for the back window. I only need the base that attaches to the body. I can post a photo tonight. Stupid happens when I hurry.

I have a complete latch. Both sides are the same. There is a wedge under the car side. Do not try to separate the parts, because the hinge part will break.

i would like $20 shipped.

A large pair of channel lock pliers and the proper size screw makes taking the hinges apart a simple operation.

englishtown swap is saturday, hope to find some stuff. Got a pair of vent windows at a yard on the way home in September, I popped the hinge off the donor car, tried unsuccessfully to put it back the same way. Busted it. I am picking up a set of x-pipes at the swap, and I have a shopping list.

I believe he is referring to the second joint in the hinge, and it breaks every time an attempt is made to disassemble it at that point.

I picked a pair today at a yard on my way home from the englishtown swap. Found a very picked over 93 that still had the vent glass

THe trim piece that won't come off by the base, I just slit it in the back where you won't see it and then slipped it off. Way easier than messing with the hinges.
