    I have a Z21 and I dislike the latches. They are blazing hot in summer. They will brand you if you sit on one by accident they get so hot. The center portion where you insert the key has fallen out of four of mine. Two ended up in the water. $78 to replace the latch. I am looking for an alternative.

    What's going on with yours? I mean I have never had the need to lock mine. But so far I have had no issues. New latches are on the 2019s.

    I have a 2019 Z20 , 1 has already lost the lock center , the center console latch plastic nut has stripped out so it doesn't hold well . Just not as nice as my Ranger slam Latches

    $78 for a single latch, woah! Arent they a standard size and perko brand? Mine are fine but some of them the lock will slip down on its own a little where it wont sit flush until I push the little tab back up with my finger. Id love to be able to replace them with the slam latches or if anyone knows of a higher quality retrofit latch.

    Reviving an old thread but have the same question. Anyone replace standard latches with slam latches on a z20? I think it’d be a nice upgrade.
