This is genius, I was literally about to spend $300 on a new set of latches but this video came up when I searched online to buy some. Thanks for the savings! Looking forward to trying this tomorrow

I thought the previous owner had loctited the bolts in and was cursing them the whole time lol, top tip pour some 99% isoproply on them, keep them wet for 10 mins and remove them by tightening and loosening them back and forth to work the alcohol in, they should eventually loosen up enough to not destroy the bolts, which i also did on the first one.

Thank you. The spring was a challenge as I did not see how it came off. For those like me the small end goes in the little hole. This video is so helpful

Great video, just bought a MK 2 and the soft top hadn't been used for years, both sides have this problem, I will do your fix very soon. 👍

@Project380 3 ай бұрын

if the soft top hasnt been used for a while it tends to shrink so you may find you have to adjust it a few times over the next few months

@Project380 I kept putting it up and down, and it's fine now, but I am still going to do your excellent fix, so the release buttons work. 👌

Thank you, P380! : ) Do you (or anyone here : ) know where I can get new replacement springs for these latches? Hardware stores seem to only carry springs with closed loops on the ends (which will not work here). Thanks, again! : )

have you tried MX5 parts or moss europe?

I don't get why putting the spring back in wasn't in the tutorial, that's literally the hardest part of this whole fix. I had to spend half an hour figuring out what's the correct way to put it in and then another hour before it finally fucking got in...

@Project380 Ай бұрын

Ahh sorry about this. Maybe I'll revisit this video or make a short explaining more in depth on the spring
