Where can I get new parts for the Vert top - like guide pins?
I need new guide pins and am not even sure what else is missing/messed up. Is there a thread here that details what a proper roof frame is supposed to have?

New, probably nowhere.Its all obsolete.Maybe Lon at TDS can help you, but otherwise its ebay, here or the JY.There was two verts at the wilmington JY about a month ago, both had complete top frames.

Is the parade boot the vinyl piece on the tonneau?
If so, yes, both did.One was the later style with the floor mounted shoulder belts.

Yes, Wilmington LA.

Thanks fredrock. I appreciate that! I may look you up. I am checking their store website every day or so to see if they have any new ones coming in.
