So these things broke off my convertible frame. Id like to know what these are for and if it effects the way the top opens and closes. Also where could i find these to replace it

 

Yes , they are called flip rods and they flip that bow over to help raise and lower the top.
Top down solutions makes and sells these

 

Ooooh ok. Thanks for the info 86gn

 

Got mine from Top Down Solutions. they look good and work great.

 

Thanks for the info i hope they work well when i get them��

 

Lon at Top Down Solutions will be able to help you solve this issue.

 

Yes I sell an improved version of the Flip Rods. TDS 104121, $65 for a pair, or $35 for one. The one in the foreground of the attached photo link is the OEM version which is prone to breakage. My version is shown as the pair in the background. My improved version has a ball and socket joint which replaces the bent and threaded 90 degrees of the OEM style.

Lonsal so would you recommend that I replace those when I replace my top? I purchased the top with the glass window but I still need to find someone to install it for me. I will go to your site to see what else you offer, I need the front trim and maybe a headliner.

 

Replace the flip rods if they are missing or broken.
