These are the pictures I took when replacing the roof of our VW 1600i beetle with Open Air roof.
They might be helpfull if you plan to replace the roof yourself too, or you’re curious how this roof is put together.

Hi
Great job, can I ask where you got the roof from, my closing latch mechanism is missing and need a replacement
I got it from Decohaus:

I don’t know if they sell the latch, they are more like an upholstery shop.
But just shoot them an e-mail.
