Default 1993-97 trunk latch

Anyone know where i can buy a new hatch latch for a 1995 camaro? I found some used ones online but I would rather have a new one if there available. I've had zero luck finding one. Does anyone know if the 98-02 style i see for sale work on a 95? they look a little different from the pics I've seen

If you're having that much trouble finding a new one, I suggest just buying a used one. I picked one up at a local junkyard pretty cheap. Before I would have to get out and use my key to open the trunk, but not anymore That was a few years ago, and it still works great.
As for the 98-02 ones, I don't know if they're different or not.

I've been to the junk yard and they had two camaro's, a 1994 and a 2000. The 94 had the same problem I'm having and the 2000 looks to be in good shape but it's a different design. I think I'm going to just give up on the new one and go back to the junk yard and see if i can install the 2000 latch on the 94 and if it works I'll buy it.
