    Coupe has a 3 panel engine cowl cover. Just have to top on now. When I try to instal the side panels, there is nothing for the two latches to grab onto! Just a square cut out at each position. Am I missing parts, or installing wrong? Can someone direct me where to find out, or knows themselves? Thank you.

    Looks like you're missing part obviously

    From memory on a 37', there are 2 U-shaped "catches" per side.

    Went thru my box of old parts. Found two newly painted steel brackets that match the existing holes near cowl. Just need to install weatherstripping, and figure out fron portion. Been raining so much here I need sides. Was running just the top piece. Thanks!

    yes you are missing the latches. You need to go back to the manufacturer of the system to get the latches. Good luck
