zlawman,2001 seal grey boxster,tiptronic: While taking the windstop off to clean it,I turned the articulating clip in the wrong direction and it snapped off. Cai it be repaired without replacing the entire frame. If so what is the part # or if not, the part # for the entire frame.

Thanks

Coming break. Check out ebay...they are on there dirt cheap. Grab and extra set, you'll need them. I'm sure they cannot be fixed in all cases. Mine required for me to lightly drill out the old post still in the pivot point. I take my out when I put my hard top on for the winter and I'm sure I'll do it again!

Maybe I'm not understanding what part your broke but the pivot/latch clips are on there for on $10 plus shipping, but I guess price is relative to the buyer! I'm cheap and I think they are cheap.

If I'm allowed to post another person ebay add here is the link to what I am talking about. SEE THIS LINK
