1989 Top Latches
The passenger top latch in my 1989 Iroc is different than the driver side.
Seen here, the driver side (first) has two raised feet under the conical location stud.
The passenger has what appeared to be a screw-in stud, which is now gone, and no 'feet' under the stud. I assume this is why it was rattling.
I never noticed they were different until now, just that the passenger one rattled.
Is the driver side one correct for this car? If so, anyone have a passenger side one?

Thanks!

Anyone know where to find these? Can't seem to find them available anywhere. Anyone have a source?

All fixed up, thanks to 82roc. 
Wonder that that passenger latch I had was from? Did ASC use similar latches on other cars? It's very similar to the 89 Camaro latch, but it's definitely not the same.

Re: 1989 Top Latches
The original latches on my 89 had a very short stud on the latch.They were about half the size of those.i swapped them out with the bigger stud ones.
