C-2,903 D-1,408 LATCH MECHANISM FOR REMOVABLE ROOF CLOSURE Abstract of the Disclosure: A latch mechanism for securing a removable closure panel in a vehicle body roof opening includes first and second keepers mounted on the vehicle body at the opposite sides of the roof opening. First and second operating levers are pivotally mounted on the closure panel for movement about spaced axes and are respectively pivotally connected with first and second latch bolts having interengaging gear teeth which rotate the operating levers through 90° of rotation oppositely of each other between latching positions wherein the operating levers are positioned generally colinear with each other and the latch bolts to effect extension of the latch bolts into engagement with the keepers and unlatching positions wherein the operating levers are located generally parallel to one another and normal to the latch bolts. The keepers are mounted for transverse adjusting movement to align with the latch bolts. The latch bolts are vertically aligned with the keepers by vertically adjustable plates on the closure panel. Locating hook members are mounted on the closure panel and engageable with the keepers to transversely align the latch bolts with the keepers and are longitudinally adjustable to adjust the longitudinal location of the closure panel in the vehicle body roof opening.
