    Default Frame top parts

    I'm replacing the top on my 97 NA and found the plastic piece that the tensioning cable runs through (can't find the part number) on the left side, broken from the pop rivet boss. Does anyone have an old non functioning frame that I can remove this part from. I'm having trouble posting picture, but will do as soon as I figure it out!

    I have a top frame in my shed. I think the cables and everything are still intact, but i'd have to check. Might just be easier to use a different frame instead of trying to re-install the cables.

    I've got the cables just need this last little part. I guess you won't sell just this little part off the frame so how much for the whole top frame.

    Crimp one of these on the end of the tension cable...if I think I know what part you're looking for.

    Are you talking about the little black square that the rivet goes through? It is a part of the tension cables.

    I think I know what he's talking about. It's a shiny black plastic piece that keeps the cable in track or something like that. Or maybe prevents it from rubbing on the top material. I know what it is when I see it but it's been a long time since my top install.

    Well I bought my top frame for a 24pack of Budweiser...so I guess a sixer of some good stuff will do
