2002 Thunderbird Broken Soft Top Latch Hook Spring

This video, made for entertainment purposes only, demonstrates one possible low-cost, temporary, quick fix for a broken soft-top latch hook spring on 2002 thunderbird. Remember if the top latch hooks are themselves damaged or in need of repair, be sure to get that fixed first. Make sure to lubricate the rubber band with grease as shown in the video to prevent the rubber band from wearing out prematurely.
ALWAYS confirm that the convertible top latches have securely engaged the widow frame before driving.
I hope you enjoy this video!
