    54 sawtooth latches

    My 54 convertible top rear bow sawtooth latches do not hold well. Is this an alignment problem. The latches appear to be in good shape.

    if the latches have been rechromed or the footballs have been rechromed - they dont hold well and will pop loose
    take a file and sharpen the teeth
    Should hold fine.....

      First thing I would do is turn the receivers 180 degrees.
