Includes one latch and one hook; two sets are required per vehicle. Mounting screws are not included.
OE Match convertible top latch for Porsche 356 Speedster, Convertible, and Roadster models. Precision-engineered to match the original hardware, this durable latch securely locks the roof in place, ensuring a tight fit, quiet cabin, and authentic look. It consists of a latch and hook assembly — usually two per car (one each side) — that engage when the top is closed.
Fits:
Porsche 356 A 1950 - 1959 Speedster
Porsche 356B/356C 1960 - 1965 Roadster
F 86 831 >> 87 825

Original latches can wear, corrode, or lose their precise fit over time, leading to top sloppiness, wind noise, or failure to stay closed. A failed catch may cause the top to lift or move while driving, risking damage or safety issues. Installing a well-made OE-Match catch restores correct tension, function, and peace of mind on the road.

OEMatch Speedster / Spyder — Fit, Function, Confidence
Roof and tonneau components for Porsche Speedster and Spyder models, including frames, soft tops, seals and fittings. OEMatch focuses on Speedster / Spyder-related items selected for Porsche applications, offering parts that support preservation, weather protection and straightforward replacement where panels, seals or fastenings have deteriorated.
- Roof frames and hardware
- Soft top assemblies and tonneau covers
- Seals, gaskets and weatherstrips
- Latches and fasteners
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts are made by the same company that produced your Porsche’s original speedster / spyder. OE (Original Equipment) refers to parts matching original specifications for the speedster / spyder and may be supplied by alternative manufacturers. Aftermarket parts offer alternative options, sometimes with enhanced features or better value. OEMatch supplies non-OEM speedster / spyder engineered as direct-fit alternatives to OEM parts, made to original-spec dimensions and tolerances for Porsche models. These components form the weatherproofing and low-profile structure that define the Speedster character and include folding frames, soft-top assemblies, tonneau covers, seals, latches and associated fixings. Replacing worn items restores sealing, retention and compact storage behaviour.
- Protects the cabin from water and wind while retaining the Speedster’s open-air character
- Helps maintain period-accurate appearance and trim alignment
- Enables compact storage and secure refit of the soft top or tonneau
- Age and UV exposure causing fabric shrinkage, embrittlement or seam failure
- Perished or compressed seals and gaskets allowing water ingress
- Worn or corroded hinges, latches or fasteners reducing retention and alignment
Regular inspection and timely replacement of roofs, seals and fastenings helps prevent water damage to interior trim and electrical components, limits corrosion at mounting points, and preserves the unique look and functionality of Porsche Speedster and Spyder models. Use parts matched to original dimensions and correct fixing methods to maintain fit and operation.
- Direct-fit replacements engineered to match original dimensions and tolerances
- Covering frames, fabrics, seals and fasteners for model-specific refits
- Supplies aimed at preserving fit, finish and low-profile operation
