Hello from East NC. a few days ago, while putting up the hood(top), the pin that connects the handle to the mechanism that is part of the frame, parted.

I contacted JAGBITS AND COVENTRY WEST, but was unsuccessful in finding JUST the pin, but was offered the entire mechanism for $150.00. The mechanism is fine, and the handle is fine, just the pin parted. I asked whether or not the pin might still be manufactured, but was told probably not. I do not know if current tops have the same system. Any experience with this problem out there with all the techies, or will I have to find a wreck of my model to get a pin? One thing I have NOT done yet, is to find an auto upholstery shop that does convertibles. Thanks for your time and consideration. Ali
