Windshield latches

[lakester93]

Need two windshield latches for center pass thru glass that opens on 270 Sundeck Taylor Made referred me to other dealers, but no luck.
Found part number 52006, but don't know if that is correct. They are really simple parts that swivel and hold center glass closed.

That was quick, thanks. Ron Do I drill them out? and bolt on the new ones, or?

I have looked at mine before and they are "riveted" to the windshield. You should drill out the rivet to remove the old one. If you go back with a screw, I am afraid it will work loose as I don't think you can tighten it down as it will not move as you need it to. Going back with a rivet might be the best thing to do.

I would put a temporary spacer between the latch and windshield frame so they rotate after a pop rivet is used to secure.
I think without a spacer the rivet would pull it too tight?
