Default Convertible top problem. Latch mechanism needed??HELP

Hello.
The hook in the center top would not completely close and wouldn't stay in place, what would happen is, it would lock all the way on top and then unlock it right away and this would be happening until I would let go of the convertible top button. Then I've decided to use an emergency procedure from Porsche manual and I was able to close the top, but then my rear (the part that moves in the rear onf the vehicle in order to let the convertible top to come out from the car) wouldn't lock. I was forced to go to the dealer.... just told me that my top latch has a fe missing pieces and the only way to get it around it is to purchase a new top latch mechanism which is $1,800 + labor

Any thoughts?

Thank you
