Great problem with soft top mecanism

viiv,

I would add that instead of autocading the broken frame section, autocad the other side frame section that's not broken ... and reverse its dimensions where necessary to produce the broken frame section (assuming that's possible, and that the unbroken frame section is still good to use as a copy).

I think you have a good solution here for those who have the expertise and connections to go this route. Its not one I had thought of, but it certainly makes perfect sense.

If I needed just such a repair part, even if it eventually cost me $2000 to have the two new frame sections made in this manner, it would be well worth the money when compared to the massive dollar amount that Nissan wants for an entire new top.
