covertible top release latch issue
 
It' a wonderful day in GA, I went to release the top, when I did the release latch fell to one side and a screw fell out. When I tried to push the latch back in, the second lid and screw fell out. Ok I secured to top, drove home changed cars. I haven't had any time to examine what caused this yet, (typing this while waiting on a call at work) Has anyone had similar experiences? Any good repair suggestions?

These guys just covered all the angles on it above.
Warning, the Harbor Freight nutzert riveter I came home with needed a larger nutzert option. Maybe take a measurement before leaving for the store, doh?

Searched high and low for a molly bolt that would make sense in there, but no luck on my part. I used a burly drywall type molly shaved on a grinder for a temporary fix.

Thanks. I fixed it.
