<p>A latch mechanism (124) for latching a convertible top header to a windshield header (38) includes an electric motor (26) mounted centrally on the top header (120) which is drivingly connected by flexible drive shafts (96, 98) to side-rail-mounted latch units (28, 30). Each latch unit includes a transmission connected to a drive shaft and an output drive screw (84) which drives a drive nut (82) and an attached drive link (64). The drive link is pivotally attached to a side-rail-mounted bell crank (50) that is pivoted to a J-hook (42). Selective operation of the electric motor will cause the drive screw (84) to shift the drive nut (82) and drive link (64) to move the J-hook (42) between an extended and retracted positions. In extended position, the J-hook can be retracted to engage a windshield header abutment to latch the headers together, or retracted within the side rail for top retraction.</p> |
