So, I just got myself a nice money pit 1970 914. One of the issues is that the front right handle for the roof has been ripped off, along with the anchor. Can I safely "glue" it back ? If so, with what and how ? Oh, and hello everyone, been reading very nice threads here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Yea, next time you meet up with some 914 guys, ask around if anyone has an extra top hanging around their garage. You might be pleasantly surprised. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
