On the samba, bairnboy@gmail.com has an excellent replacement part for the rear deck lid latch. Samba Add for replacement rear deck lid latch partIn the process of installing it, I had to learn a few things; the summary of which is: It is really, really important that the body lines down the middle of the deck lid line up. This makes the catch in the lid align with the latch on the body. It is a tight clearance, and must be lined up precisely. The previous owner had a paint refresh done. The body shop/painter aligned the deck lid to get an even gap line all the way around edge of the deck lid. That messed up the alignment of the latch to the catch.
