Install some fresh components with your new convertible top with this 5.0 Resto 1983-1993 Fox Body Mustang top latch kit! Convertible top latch assemblies, j-hooks, and dowel pin receptacles play a crucial role in securing and aligning the convertible top to the windshield top panel. These parts are usually worn out from regular use over time, causing potentially unsafe driving conditions for you and others on the road. The dowel pins, located on the convertible top frame, slide into the plastic dowel pin receptacles to achieve perfect alignment between the top frame and the windshield top panel. J-hook receptacles provide a place for the j-hooks on the top latch to secure to. If any of these parts are showing signs of wear replace them today! A failed component has the potential to allow the convertible top on your Mustang to fly open at highway speeds.
Quality Construction
5.0 Restos convertible top latches are supplied in this kit and are made with a durable metal construction for superior strength. Chrome-plated J-jooks are pre-installed to help speed up assembly time on your installation. Daniel Carpenter's J-hook and dowel pin receptacle are made of a durable plastic construction with the correct black finish. Designed to be an exact replica of the original, it matches all of the OE dimensions. Phillips-head screws that attach the J-hook and dowel pin receptacle to the front windshield frame are also included. Each screw is made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel with the correct lengths and factory thread pitch; these 5.0 Resto screws will fit identically to the original hardware.
