how to Remove Replace Rumble Seat Latch
I have a 30 Coupe with rumble seat and the rumble seat latch won't lock. I want to replace it, but I don't see how to get the locking latch handle out. Is this easy or do I have to take half the rear end off to replace the locking latch handle? Thanks

Re: how to Remove Replace Rumble Seat Latch
There should be a crown nut on the bottom of the handle shaft. Remove it and handle should pop out.
Can you post a picture. |

Re: how to Remove Replace Rumble Seat Latch
To my knowledge no cross bolt in the shaft BUT the lock has a slider piece in it that may have broken off.

Re: how to Remove Replace Rumble Seat Latch
This is not your handle but if you look at yours this is what it should look like.
You can see the slider pin clearly. |

Re: how to Remove Replace Rumble Seat Latch
Yeh...that slider pin is completely missing. I'll order a new handle and hope it fits. Maybe I should look down inside the metal metal lid and see if there's a pin in there. I'd like to keep the original handle and key if possible. Thanks to all for your help. Case closed.

Re: how to Remove Replace Rumble Seat Latch
The replacement handle is for door, trunk and rumble lid; the threaded shaft has to be cut to length. The one I got needed the threads chased to get the nut on. My latch had broken the same way as yours, and I could see no way to repair it.
The replacement latchbox needs to be painted to look original, but it can't be seen anyway. Last edited by Badpuppy; 12-07-2020 at 09:59 AM. |
