Flip Rods for 92 Vert

Anyone have any idea where I can find a set of Flip Rods for my convertible top? I'm replaceing my top and one flip rod is bent and the other one is actually broken. Been looking for awhile with no luck so far. I'd even be happy with a drawing of the parts so I could build them myself.

I think www.top-downsolutions.com sells them new......

might have to search for Top Down Solutions for the correct web address

Re: Flip Rods for 92 Vert

Hey guys, great news! I have the Flip Rods back in stock. As someone previously mentioned, I made a batch of them back in 2001 and sold out back in 2006. These are a new and improved version which replaces the 90 degree bend that was prone to breakage with a small lubricated ball-joint.

Attached is a link to the Flip Rods which are in the "Body-Exterior" Category:

http://www.top-downsolutions.com/Bod...product_id=226

Here is a link to the Tecg Article that I wrote back in 2001 which is posted here on TGO:

https://www.thirdgen.org/tech/fliprods.pdf

These Flip Rods are a direct-fit replacement. You have the option of buying a new set or just the right or left side which is broken or missing on your convertible.

I hope this helps.
