Who repairs latches on hard Targa top?
The '77 Targa I bought last year came with a hard Targa top, but both latches are broken and it's impossible to get it to fit snugly. I replaced it with a soft top for daily use, but I'd like to get the hard top fixed.
Does anyone know someone who fixes these?

The hard top latches are like hens teeth.

ROW '78 911 Targa

Is it the metal parts or the plastic locking handle that has failed?

Post pics of the broken latches, please.
Dennis makes some very nice replacement handles (he provided me a set - they look original). |

  I think the metal parts are useable, but one of the plastic handles is broken off and the other isn't looking great. Also, some of the heavy rubber/plastic trim has come loose and will need to be repaired.
