I have a friend who just bought a GEM car… it was off CL and ‘sold as in perfect shape for it’s age’ … the age was misrepresented as well… he needs a few things… can you help… know you may have an extra laying around or upgraded or know of someone parting out a car and have the part… hood latch wiper motor and arm rear window covering or window ignition as they owner must have misplaced the key one day and installed a toggle switch… maybe you want to add items to this thread as well that you are looking for Bob ---

Here is some help with parts: The hood latch is Southco C7-10. Complete documentation exists on their site. These sell for under $15 on Amazon. I have never researched the wiper motor and arm. I have had several rear window coverings repaired and replaced by a local marine canvas and vinyl shop. Replacement windows and coverings are also sold by NEV Accessories. A much more affordable ignition switch is NAPA KS6040 or KS6115 in their Echlin brand. These sell about $15.

But then I put two and two together and realized that you are the top poster of that group. And you had already posted there about looking for a bed!! Woops. Sorry about that Bob! But hey, it’s worth mentioning here for others that might read this a year from now. 😉 ---

thanks Steve for posting the GEM car Photo link… think it’s a good place to post photos of cars… members as well as the fun ones that pop up on facebook as well as some that I find on Craigslist for the people who don’t have a GEM car or might be looking for a second or third… this is another group for the GEM car owners [https://www.facebook.com/groups/GEMthevillagesflorida/](https://www.facebook.com/groups/GEMthevillagesflorida/) … not restricted to FL Bob
