Targa top roof panel rear latch

Hi.

Does anyone know where I can find a used one? My spring is broken and I have to fight with it to close it and open it....
PN is 10432581 quite expensive at GM

Have you tried looking for some sort of spring to replace it?
The pin holding it must come out. Here are some springs.

The spring can likely be replaced. Try your local Fastenal location for replacement torsion spring, Bring in your old one so it can be matched. The other option is to find a used latch from a salvage yard.
Good Luck
