    Fiberglass hardtop repair

    So, rolled the Lj in Moab over the summer and luckily only real damage was to the hardtop. One of the clamps that lock on to the windshield is busted as crap. How can I go about fixing this or should I just go to a professional? I know hardtops are expensive and I can’t afford to buy a new one.
