Re: firebird hatch latch

Just so you know, you can't just bolt an 82-85 normal latch in place of the hatch motor because the bracket welded to the body is different. Of course, you could weld in a bracket from an 82-85 car if you want. However, there may be one other option but you need to check and see what style hatch motor you have. Most '91 cars used the earlier style motor assembly with the metal mounting bracket but some used the smaller '92 style motor with the plastic bracket. If you have the style with the plastic mounting bracket we have a manual latch available on our website. We only have one and it's the only one I've ever seen.
