Windshield Hold Down Latches

I don't see any compatible parts listed for the windshield hold down latches. Has anyone find a close approximation? I don't know that the aftermarket versions will lay flat when not in use. Which leads me to ask how the oem ones don't ding up the hood when not in use? Are they clipped into a holder?

I don't know of a compatible part offhand. I know there are several versions of the latches, both aftermarket and for other vehicles. Here is a picture of a stock one:

Ahh. So the receptro for the T goes on the hood as well to secure the T. Where does the T attach to the windscreen if the receptor is mounted on the hood?

Wish my paint looked like that :mrgreen:

The T clips over the outer edge of the windshield when the windshield is laying down.

Just found this web site that had bonnet catches. Not the same as G60 original but close.

The web site had other interesting items as well.

I haven't used the web site.
