So at the hands of San Antonio's very own worst paint shop, Choice Auto Body, my convertible top was forced into the tonneau cover area and the the thin rods thats help the top fold back right, were bent badly. On the passenger rear side of the top, the passenger side frame bolt and bolt housing (you can see the bar that is supposed to connect to the broken housing, now dangling from the bent bar in the pics) that support the top where broken also, but only half the bar snapped so a thread of bar is still supporting my top.

Looking for possibly any and all convertible specific parts, like red seatbelts, as well as an entire structure to the roof.

Reply or PM me with info.

Thanks for your support 3rd genners

I am happy to inform you that I have a new and improved version of that Flip Rod that the shop bent on your 'vert.

Re: vert parts needed!!

Damn lon, life saver buddy! And that is a great price for $50 for both sides.

Bad part is, want the shop to refund me more, like 600 for the bullshyt I had to go through. Caused iver heating issue with srpaying the raditor till it was clogged and didnt put the battery latch for my cooling fans. After 12 hours of my own repairs, to finally get her running cool. To try to put the top up to take her for a drive, then finding this. Then going to get gas, finding my gas cap missing... comes in threes
