Devon roof.?????
Hi vans getting restored we have took the fastning clips off roof and the latch off van. The part that the latch rivots too is very worn and shabby. It looks like its made from fibreglass. And its job looks to be a packer for the latch. Obviously theres two. Does anyone kno if you can buy these parts? And where from cheers....

I have the same problems , my approach to this is to strip out the roof liner in the poptop bond some reinforcing plates to the inside of the roof and replace the standard fittings with these 301803469234 this is the item no from ebay .
obviously pre drill the reinforcing plates to match the new latches and then fill the original holes .
iam going to do the same with the hinges too , fit reinforcing plate and possibly replace the scabby hinges with new stainless one .

sorry misread your post , I intend to make some new spacer for the latches from self coloured nylon ie kitchen chopping board or similar . easy to work and shape with a dremmell or similar .
