Default Jeep JK freedom panel latches/locks

Just trying to find out if the JL freedom top/targa panel latches/locks will fit a JK. I have one left and one right broken and they are proud of those parts by looking at the price. I can get 4 JL used latches for $50

I think i'd be going with an aftermarket option that was at least intended for a JK before trying to pound a square peg in a round hole. different colors out there but you get the point -

I tried those on my other JK and they were hard to open and close. May have just been the brand

Default Update

The JL panel latches will work on JK panels with some extremely minor modifications. They look good and close properly
