You are making me not want to replace my top. I imagine it helps fasten the vert top to the body, but I am unsure. I also imagine you could easily fabricate something to replace it with a piece of aluminum from home depot and a drill/cutters.

 

That strip of metal fits into a pocket on the bottom of the soft top. It stiffens the back edge where it is attached to the body of the car.

Yours is shot. You need to find one from a part out. When you find one, paint it before you put it back together!

Good Luck!

 

Mine was rusted just like then when i replaced my top. Cant remember how much the $dealership$ charged me. Unless you get one from the southwest, my guess is that they are all rusted like that. Good luck

 

thank you all any help let me know

ps to the person who put my top on and put this part back in hell is waiting for you haha ha a a no that true.
