Anyone know of a source for replacement Sub-a-rat (GD chassis) roof vent latches?
I know I can buy the whole kit with the door for $300-$400, but I just need the latch. The plastic molding broke where a pivot pin goes through. Looks like a $10 part. Rallispec says I have to buy the whole thing.
Thanks!

Hey, I may have a somewhat similar part for my XR4 silly side windows.

Let me dig through my extensive collection of XR4 junk tonight.

Besides, I still have 20 used Sub-a-rat lug nuts I forgot to drop off today. Those are always useful for throwing out the window at tailgating cars. grinning smiley

And those stittae old lug nuts will fit Nissans as well!

It stands to reason that Subaru sourced some existing side window hardware for their roof vents. How many Subarus come from the factory with roof vents? Probably not that many.

I think I have a fresh one coming from over the pond, from Ralph at www.Milsport.co.uk.
