71 Cutlass convertible top latches

Has anyone tried the repop top latches that are available on ebay and other restoration places? My latches, (especially the right one), is quite loose at the pin and will actually go over center allowing to top to be loose on the windshield frame. I need some new or good used ones. What do you guys think? Thanks,Greg.

Hi Greg,

Try the ones from year one! I have a hard top so....., but any way anything that I have bought from year one has been top notch.
