I broke the rear hatch latch for roof panel

[JohnnyC]

I was putting this big box in the back on my Vette and I caught the latch that holds down the roof panel when you put it in the back. I know the handle comes up to remove the rear molding thing. But i broke this down the the spring rod part that pulls in and handle came with it.

Any thoughts on replacement? its not a critical need as i dont often remove the top and i the latch/spring still "works", just the top is broken. Is this a part i can order, or would i need the whole window hatch assembly.

I broke mine and repaired it with Super Glue gel. Roger.

I got for about $18 from Corvette Central and was a very easy fix.
