I have already tried 3 including a yellow one from Drake and they won't work. The wire is too wide being 3/16 X 1/16 rather than 1/8 X 1/16.
This makes the spring too wide to fit down in the narrow slot where it has to go to push on the latch.

You are correct in that the convertible utilizes different springs than the closed cars in 1940. I laugh each and every time I see ads that state ALL models.
