    I need the drivers side locking devise for my rag top. The pin that hold the handle in a locked position broke. Any one with a idea where I can get this part??

    EEE Straight out of lo-cash!

    Do you mean the little hook that latches on to the windshield part?

    thanks for the reply, I'm new at looking for parts and describing what i need. It's not specifically the hook but the handle you use to open/close the hook. I assume it's one whole assembly.

    dougt,
    You are from Saint John, N.B.? I met a fellow about a week ago with a '72 LeSabre needing the same part. Saw you pull into a gas bar & stopped to say hello. Car is Butternut Yellow & a black, maybe brown roof.

    These latches are standard in any full size GM convertible from 1971 to 1976. So look for a salvage yard that has some old iron and ask them if they have a full size convertible. If you ever see one grab these.

    You might even try the GM parts counter. I bought 2 brand new from them, but that was many years ago.
