Mark and All,
I have been down this road already (VW latch as replacement for C150L latch).
I actually purchased (2) VW latches to explore the possibility.
In the end, I would have had to drill new mounting holes in my C150 window frame to mount them and modify the latch plate. Or, I would have had to essentially fabricate adapter plates for the VW latches to adapt to the original holes.
Perhaps the VW latches adapt more readily to earlier models of the C150, but they were not a quick-fix for my plane. Fortunately, they were just $15 each.
I ended up paying the Niagara price of $165 each (OUCH!) plus shipping, and I still had to switch out my latch plate with the different one provided.
