Abstract
A collapsible latching pin for the rear bow of a vehicle convertible top which facilitates latching of the top in the enclosing position while collapsing out of the way upon storage of the top within the boot well. The pin includes a spring to bias the pin downwardly to be latched by the closure mechanism of the top. As the top is stored within the vehicle, the rear bow will engage the bottom of the storage well collapsing the pin flush with the bottom increasing the storage room for the top. As the top is removed from the storage well the latching pin will be biased to the vertical latching position.
