Help with broken arm on Bestop soft top

[Joeinnewjersey]

Any way to get a replacement for this arm other than calling bestop? Or any homemade fixes…

Can’t really tell what part of the soft top frame this is. Have you tried to search locally for a used soft top frame

Check Facebook, you can often get a complete frame for ~$100. Plus Quadratec has decent frame parts diagrams.

A local machine shop could fix that for cheap.

So this is a better picture of the problem. What broke was the piece that is already attached to the frame:

Does anybody have email address for bestop that isn’t just the form email that doesn’t allow for images?

Yes, call Bestop. I had a TrekTop for a bit. During installation, I ripped the stitching out on one of the little tabs in the rear corner. I called them, told them that I thought it was my fault and they still sent me a new window and told me to keep the old one.

Hell I bought a used soft top off the forum but it was still like new and they warrantied me a couple things. They’re the bomb

Is there any time of day in which you don’t find yourself number 40 or worse in the call queue?

You need the header, the arm is fine. Take the phillips screw out, detach the arm, and you can epoxy the post back in the header. Put the arm back on after the epoxy hardens and it will work for a little but, but it won't last forever.

That’s what I was thinking
