ABSTRACT:
A latch mechanism for holding a hinged panel in open and closed position relative to a framed opening in a vehicle body having a handle and a link pivoted to each other and to the panel and the vehicle, respectively, so that in a closed position an overcenter position of the pivot points of the latch handle and link maintain the panel in a closed position and in which one of the pivot connections is formed by sliding a latch mechanism which permits the link and handle to be locked in selected relative positions to hold the panel in an intermediately opened position or a fully opened position.
