Help! Need some info on where to get convertible top latches for my 1985 convertible camaro! It is a conversion (was told the original owners took it to California to have the top chopped) so not to sure about all the details, other than I think it was a t-top to begin with. Need ANY information you can come up with, but especially parts information for the convertible top. IE weatherstripping, bolts, headliner, etc etc. Thanks!

 

As far as locating a source for the latches goes, you'll need to find someone parting out one or contact a F-Body used parts seller. I know Thomas *** at House of Camaro has two convertibles he is parting out. I believe one was a pre-89, which is what you'd need. These also show up occasionally on eBay. You may have to buy the entire frame assembly on eBay to get the parts you want. Then just re-sell the rest or keep it for a spare, since no one is making aftermarket parts for these (yet). It woule help to know that your car was indeed a ASC conversion. I've assumed that is the case in my reply. But there were at least a dozen companies doing aftermarket convertible conversions before ASC drove them out of business. More than one converter was in CA.
