Paddle Part #?
Paddle Part #? Im looking for the part # on the paddles that keep the vert top latched. My spring gave out and I ended up destroying the smaller portion trying to get it to work. Anyone have this part # for the whole assembly?
I honestly do not have a clue what its called unfortunately 
I cant describe it any other way than the lever that you use to secure the convertible top when it isnt down.

Here's the exploded view of the latch...
The latch assembly is part number 10284234. GM LIST: $287.04 GMDirect: $169.35 I'm pretty sure that includes all the parts shown (for that price, it better!), except maybe the rubber pad #57 which only costs about $4.

Sorry... got sidetracked.
#52 Spring doesn't have a part number... it's part of #7 assembly.
You may have to fabricate something or search Home Depot(?)
#54 Push Button is year/color dependent. For 00-02 it's 10431844.
GM LIST: $4.43 GMDirect: $2.61
This info is from a Camaro parts list, but should be the same for Firebird.
What year do you have?
Here's a picture of #7...
Exploded view #7
And here's the p/n descriptions & breakdowns...

They're a little grainy, but my original is the same.

Well they are only 2.61 a pop...I figured wth and ordered 2 of them (2 b.c with a $10 shipping charge I might as well get the extra just in case). If they dont work..guess Im out 15 bucks.
