    I am looking to replace my olde worlde winshield latches with some shiny stainless steel ones.

    Here's a pic of the ones I have at the moment

    They've seen better days. Anyone know where I can get aftermarket shiny catches like these?

    Cheers

    Hi Lynn,

    thanks for the pointers. I really must learn to search this site for previous threads on the same subject!!

    I'll probably go for the 4WD ones, as I have to place an order with 4WD for some stuff anyways.

    Thanks again.

    when i replaced mine i also up-graded to the newer style windshield clamps that screw instead of latch. i found them in 4wd as a direct replacement for the old style latches. bolted right in and i never have to worry the latches will wear out again b/c they are replaced with knobed screws. only downside was the cost about $80.00

    Yep - those are what I was thinking.

    I might have to swap to those to get around some w/s / rollcage / latch clearance issues I have.

    Thanks!

    Thanks Boscoe,

    I've ordered them now from 4WD, so I look forward to a pain free installation ;-)
