I am selling this, but have not seen low windshield tops with three latches. Did the PO add this? or did some come this way?

Does anyone have photos of this? This top fit well on the car, and looked ok. Maybe the PO swithched the windshield at one time? or just added the third low windshield latch?

I have owned 4 or 5 65 - 67 cars, two 64 cars, perhaps 6 or 8 67.5 cars and a sprinkling of others to round out the pot. I have NEVER seen a low windshield car that has 3 latches like that. The po must have seen the parts book and added the third latch. As far as the parts book goes, there are some "creative" diagrams in there. If I am not mistaken, the parts book specifies the 3 latch top as being for the high windshield cars only.
That is just plain bizarre...
Oh, and those are 65 - 67 type latches in case anyone is curious... The 3 seat 1500s have studs with a completely different latching system. There are 3 knobs that screw onto the posts to secure the front bow.

The 67 and 67.5 bows are identical as far as I can tell. If you were to try to put a third latch on a 67.5, you would have to take the visors off as the center support would have to be removed and replaced with a latch mount.
