Black window catch wanted (older style)

[jjad]

I'm looking for an older-style black window catch - the type that bolts through a hole in the glass (like the beige/white one at the top of the picture below).

I've got a black stick-on catch (shown at the bottom) but the design of the two catches is different, so you can't mix the catches with the bolts.

It seems like you can only buy the later (stick on) type now.

Thanks!

Maybe the specialist for R8 list them as they were all bolt on type rear window slider catches

Bought a couple of black old-style catches on ebay.es for a few euros, but I gave them to a friend...
Don't know if they were for specific models or markets, cause in Italy older cars had beige catches... I think that the easiest option is to paint yours.

If you get stuck I think I have a cream bolt on type

Thanks Jonathan, that's very kind, although I'm really after a black one to match the rest. Have a great time over the border in Suffolk!

Thanks Nick, that's also very generous. It's really the type that is at the top of the photo that I'm after (but in black). But if nothing turns up, then perhaps I could modify the newer type (bottom of picture) by making a bigger recess. So hopefully I won't need to take up your kind offer, but I'll let you know!

Thanks everyone

Thanks for the link ggcton, but that is not the type I'm looking for. Der Franzose's one is the type that is glued on to the window, not the type that has a longer bolt that goes right through the glass.

Thanks though!

The picture shows the bolt type with fixing.

Thanks Nick, if you could send me one that would be great thanks. Please let me know how much you'd like for it, including postage. I'll PM you my address. Many thanks.

Thanks to Nick's kindly supplied window catch (glue-on type) , I've been able to make the hole on the inside of it more like the depression found in the bolt-through-the-window type, so that the black catch that he supplied now fits onto my window with the bolt-through-the-glass fitting!

Thanks!
