Well, mines a '82..the roof is the one that pops "straight up" black top with the hard sides.....hard to explain as its missing from my camper and been trying to get hold of one but no luck.....so seeing if there is a way to "make" my own :shock:

Whoops, sorry 'bout that, missed the obvious one out :oops:
Anyway here you go. Looks like a bonnet catch to me :?
The long flat brace to the left is just to attach the front trim to the roof and goes to the side of the catch, NOT inside it which is how it looks on the piccie.
