does anyone make replacement actuator rods?
it seems that on every convertible I own the #2 bow actuator rods are bent. Does anyone reproduce these? Its ther main reason my tops don't fold down properly.

I built them at one time but have been out of stock for years. Whe I get the time I'm going to fabricate them again, but of an improved design similar to that used on the 4th gen 'verts. If yours is bent you can VERY carefully re-bend it to shape in a bench vise. I've done it for a local club member before I fabricated my own version.

Lonsal, did you think about making anymore of the rods? You mentioned the 4th gen design, what do those look like? I am ready to pay to have new rods made.
