    Hi. I am looking for a used set of Beatrush side latches. If you have it, let me know. Thanks

    I haven't seen a set sold for several years now. Good luck. They do not fit well with a roll bar.

    Yeah, they don't pop up used very much. However, I just installed a set in my little brother's 10AE since the Hard Dog in that car was not hardtop compatible, meaning the OE sidelatches were out of the question. They work just fine. I guess YRMV.

    I've got a lot less horsepower - luckily they are Japanese horses - usually in better shape and more motivated.

    I thought they were meant to be used with a roll bar?? For clearance purposes because of the roll bar?? Anyone??

    I gotta verify now, as I have a set that I had planned to use with a roll bar.

    If I can not find a used set, I will buy the new one. Please let me know how it fits. Thanks

    Is post #3 invisible? I think that's the sixth set I've installed, split among NAs and NBs. No problems with any of them.

    Yeah, the whole point is for use with rollbars that aren't hardtop friendly.
    What doesn't work is some locking option or other. You might check that other forum for further info. There was a group buy and whatnot a few years ago, so plenty of feedback.

    they are designed to work better WITH roll bars, that is what they are designed for. I would follow those with some GarageStar anti-theift hardware.

    Where you may run into issues with these is if you have fixed back seats mounted without sliders.

    Not enough room to open them
