Title: 52 door latch: 2D Hard Top same as 4d?
Post by: gtconboy on May 20, 2008, 09:57:32 PM

Need a new door latch for driver's side of '52 2D HT. I see one for sale on Ebay that came off a '52 4 door. I suppose they are the same but thought I would solicit an opinion (or certainty) if anyone has it. Or for that matter if you have a door latch to sell (striker, too, if available), I am interested.

Thanks,
George

george i haven't got a 52 parts book but do have a 51 book and it says that the door lock on the 2dr and 4dr were the same, actually it shows the same part# for the Plymouth p22&P23 ,Dodge D41&D42 ,Chrysler C52&54 and desoto S15

Thanks, I appreciate you looking it up. That's enough to take a chance on buying one.

The latch assembly is the same in all models 49 to 52. What is not the same is the shaft on the handle and on the lock as the convertible 49-50 and the convertible and hard top 51-2 have a thicker door so the handle and lock shafts are longer.

George;

I have 2 '52 Belvederes - both have ragged and worn roof rail weatherstrip - that's the weatherstrip along the roof that the windows close against. Any ideas ?
