A while back I had the targa top stowed in the trunk and needed to get something from underneath it. I thought to myself.... I can get it out from underneath without completely removing the targa. I will just be carefull and pick it up just enough to get the item out. Then ... snap! The clip broke. Has that happened to anyone else?

Yep, I broke one. The clip is still available, but the hard part is finding a matching rivet. Most people give up & just bolt the new one in, which is what I would do if originality didn't matter so much. In the pic below the new one is on the left & can clearly be distinguished from the original one on the right. They do get old, yellow & brittle.
