ABSTRACT:
A latch assembly for removable vehicle roof panels includes a handle for selectively releasably retaining the panel on the vehicle. A bracket pivotally mounts the handle and a first locking member on the panel. The handle is movable between a first latching orientation in which the panel is secured to the vehicle and a second non-latching orientation in which the panel is removable from the vehicle. A second locking member, provided on the handle, cooperates with the first to lock the handle in the latching orientation. The second locking member is key-actuable to be moved out of locking cooperation with the first to permit movement of the handle to the non-latching orientation.
