What type of hardware? The hinges are not being reproduced. Other hardware pieces might be available.

I have a CE...and just rebuilt my hatch.
the pins are convertible top pins
the gasket is available.
The little 'buttons' are available.
I may be wrong, but the latch keepers are suspiciously similar to the rear decklid latches on a Convertible.
Cables are reproduce-able
The big trim panel is the same for a regular bubble-back but with the latch holes cut out.
The Hinge trims on the basket handle are available in repro.


Fergeddabout the hinges. There was a guy CNC-ing new ones....but not anymore.

WHERE DID THE OEM PARTS GO...STOLEN BY GREMLINS? LOL

Look up my tread when you want to get it going.

If you need help ask.
