Default 34 Cabriolet door latches & window regulators

I'm going to be having to find door latch and window regulator units for a 1934 Cabriolet. Many of the usual suspects who supply us with parts have these items for various 1934 models, but do not specify units suitable for Cabriolets.
Does anyone know if any of these units specified for sedans, phaetons, or roadsters are also suitable for Cabriolets? And if they are not whether any of the above models' units can be adapted for Cabriolet use? Has anyone else solved this problem?

Well lets explain it this way, the door latches are the same as closed car 34, the window regulators are special to 33/34 cabriolet and not reproduced.

Thanks. Does anyone know if any of the other model window regulators can be modified to work in a cabriolet?

You will probably have to rebuild the ones you have. Sigh.

You will need to find window regs from a 35-36 two door sedan. You will used the 34 cab. main plate with the six mounting screws that bolt to the door. You will remove the 35-36 parts from their plate and install them on your 34 plates. You will need to alter the arm lenght to match the 34 arm lenght. Good Luck

Quickchange34 is correct with a bit of work the originals can be repaired. I believe that 34 and 35 Cabriolet are the same regulators. Nearly impossible to find in any condition.
