Hi I just bought this car its made by matrix. It has a nice leather interior I would like to know if this came with all the cars or if this was special order. Also does anyone know where i can get the latches for my top someone took them off this car and siliconed the top closed.

Cool car, but the seats definitely look custom.

Does that label in the door jamb tell you what number you car is? What does it say? The photo is a bit blurry.
I can't tell what number it is the label is not in the best condition. Does anybody have any pictures of the latches for the top or know where I can get them???

On the Matrix 3 there wasn't a lever for the top. It came with a small metal wrench-type lever that is inserted in the slots in the top latches.
edit: I re-read your post. When you say no latches do you mean to top is not connected above the windshield? There should be a pin-like latch with a screw end and a slot to insert the wrench. I will take a picture of mine (latch and wrench) next time I have a chance but it may be a couple weeks before I get to it. If I don't post anything up in the near future PM me and remind me.

Holy Cow! Someone else on here with another Matrix Camaro! Same year too! Your seats are certainly custom, Matrix didn't really mess with the seats, they stayed stock. They look really nice though!
And as stated before, there is a little metal bar that's offset at an angle that slides into a spot on the top that allows you to open it. If I get a chance, I will toss up a picture of mine. Feel free to PM me, I'm working on getting my matrix apart and restoring it, so we are gonna have a lot of similar problems.

Found it! The tool pictured below is what is used to secure the convertible top:
