Thought about that
Tony, Thanks for the note. That's one option I thought about. Actually I'm just trying to find a latch box of any color. I'll do what you said and make it black if it's not already.
My other option is to wait until the weather warms up and pull the broken one off the car, use some fiberglass and patch the old one. With a little elbow grease I think I can get the old one looking respectable.
However it would be easier if I located one intact. Vicks had them listed in last year's catalog, new , aluminum, but they don't have them anymore.
It's not a high priority but will eventually get taken care of.
