Help! Convertible Tops problems
 

Finally get around to replacing my convertible top on my '88 vert! Quickly realized that that one of the bars that bolts to top to the rear of the car has rusted beyond use. I have not been able locate a replacement at a salvage yard and of course, mazda was no help.

ANYBODY EVER HAD THIS PROBLEM? How did you solve it?

ANYBODY FABRICATED THIS PART? Need to make this happen ASAP!
