Made a big boo boo this morning
so here my story. i had already planned to replace my top cause the back window cracked on me. but this morning after staying up all night cause i was afraid of missing my flight at 6am i went to walmart around 430-445 in the morning after being up since 6 sat morning and i leave the car running cause im freezing cold and the heater isnt the greatest in my 92 so i lock the doors and because in the past the key didnt unlock it. so i unlatch the top just in case the doors dont unlock. and as im walking out theres a group of three or four people following me around the store. and maybe it was just 30 hours of being away had me a little paranoid lol. and i jump in the car and take off. not remember anything i get on the highway and hit about 70 and hear its a little windy and i look at the windows then im like holy **** and right before i can slam on the brakes the front of the top rips up. its snapped a few bars not really sure which ones since im in South Carolina right now and the car is in Michigan. the top will close and all. but i know when i take the clothe off itll be bad.




So the point of this is:
1- any good shops in the MI area for tops?
2- where can i find the metal part of the top (cant think of the name right now) like the frame
3- is anyone in the West Coast side of michigan that would be willing to help me out?

OUCH!

I'm sure you feel horrible but it can be fixed... A little TLC and a few $$ will have it back to normal in no time!
