If your local JY doesn't have the quantity or best interior quality of XJ's to find a latch to replace, then you have more of an option with the WJ's.

OH CRAP!!!! I was unaware of this drastic flaw. Anyone wany to buy an XJ? The latch still works so I guess I need to unload it while I still can. ![Jester](https://www.cherokeeforum.com/images/smilies/jester.gif)

Those things are supposed to have latches there? Man, that would be awesome!
Watch the Mopar latch part number, ending in AA, get superceded by velcro, part number ending in AC....![Whistling2](https://www.cherokeeforum.com/images/smilies/whistling2.gif)
