996 top latch not working correctly

Hey Guys,

I'm the proud owner of a 996 but after taking the hard top of, I went to close the softtop which failed. The hook closed 2 inches short. My first thought was hydraulics but I checked all that and it's fine. Then I checked top latch, which is where I think I found the cause.
As you can see in the pictures there is a small spring that broke.
I can see where it is fixed on the right part but where is the left part supposed to go?

Does anybody know where to find these springs, or am I bound to by a whole new or seconds hand system? Cost wise, paying $500 for a spring would be a shame.

Any help would be appreciated.

Edit : Can't get the picture to work.
