Default Looking for trunk latches

I've searched everywhere....

I can't find trunk/hatch latches in a compression fastener type. All I can find are the sparco spring type.

Southco (Dzus) makes them of course, but I can't find a dealer for them

Any help would be appreciated



something along the lines of that ^^^

I ended up installing eye bolts into «hatch piston» (i removed them they were blown anyway...would need spss3 there too ) holes in the glass...the eye inside of the car...with a few washers and custom rubber rings..now I can latch whatever from inside (elastic to strut bar for example) and it's pretty tightly closed as far as water infiltration and «bumps on the road with high spring rates» are concerned.
