  Sorry to keep bugging about this car but man I am lost with this thing. My top spears to be relatively new but I can’t get the top down. I disconnect it from the windshield and then flip the next little handle and that’s as far as I can get. I’m guessing that there is supposed to be another little handle of sorts back behind the doors but there is no handle there. They’re on only some strange looking thumb screws. I’m wondering if this can be fixed and can these parts be bought without having to buy a new convertible top. Thanks guys!!!

  You are missing a few hinge pieces in the back. The photos below should get you started.

  Karl Wescott is re manufacturing the handle part. contact www.wescottsauto.com most of the other parts are steel.

  Is there somewhere where I can buy these parts? I wonder how hard they are to replace? Thanks.
