Top Latch
I replaced mine. It is tight but can be done if careful.
The two bolts are an allen if I remember correctly. I lowered the top to get some slack in the top and very carefully worked the socket and small ratchet in place. Once loosened I used my fingers to take them out.
There is a really small allen set screw that locks the hook in place. Undo that and unscrew the hook. This makes the latch a little easier to work out of the frame. Slowly twist and work it out.
Repeat the process in reverse order to install and replace. Adjust the hook to the right length and set with the set screw when done.
Hope that helps a little.
