Default Where to buy a sunroof latch?
I can find the uprated (metal pivot) hinge, but not the latches themselves. I presume the previous owner stored the latch when the pivot pin broke and didn't keep it with the car.

That's it I believe. $40 is doable albeit steep for a plastic latch. $159 is robbery.
