Convertible Top Latch Screws

[Vista glass]

I just did the nutsert installation for the top latch nuts. It worked! The link to Mike Fockes instructions was imensely helpful.

I bought a good quality tool from amazon. I did a practice on scrap metal.This tool was up to the job. The included nutserts are steel and set firmly in the existing opening. I was able to use the factory bolts as this set has both metric and SAE. It was worth the $42 to do it right. I am sure I will use this tool again somewhere.

That's a great deal! I wish I'd have known that when I installed rivnuts on my Grand Caravan for a roof rack. I used the two nut method. What a pain it was!
