So the wife's car has started experiencing the classic top pinching on the right side. I inspected it and found that the plastic tab was broken off leaving only a small part held by the screw.
I went looking for the part based on numbers posted online. I talked with Tom at CED and he did a search of the national database and found one right side clip left in GM inventory. He told me that these clips have been out of production for several years.
I talked with a friend in the club who has parts made. He is going to see if he can find a supplier who can make us a small run of the parts for not too much $$$
I have one spare set from my backup top to use as patterns.
I am aware that some are making their own tabs but if we can get some purpose built replacements that would be preferable.
