looks like over the years some of the round domed hex screws that attach the bows to the frame on the convertible top frame got lost. does anyone know where i might find replacement (as original ) hardware. thanks

OEM screws are not available that i am aware of. Some members here on TGO that are parting out a vert have helped me in the past. Also, you might try contacting people who are selling vert parts on e-bay. They sometimes have them. Your only other option is to use existing standard hardware that is available. Pep Boys, Lowes, Home Depot. Just becareful. The frames are made of aluminum & you can damage the existing threads when inserting a incorrect screw size. For the most part my vert uses a metric thread.
