The reason why I'm posting this is to ***** and whine. So if you don't wanna read just hit alt+f4. So after a nice dinner date with some friends, my fiancee forgot to lock my top after I put the top up. I locked my side though. As we are leaving I decide to get on it a lil bit, then all I hear is clunk, and I feel wind.

Yes that's right, my convertible arm on the passenger side snapped. yay! Well it's not that bad I suppose, I think I might be able to weld it, but I dare not attempt it cause I don't want to set my (beat up, ripped up, and falling apart) top on fire. And I don't think JB Weld is going to be enough.

Ugh, me and one of my co-workers were thinkikng we could rebuild the both arms, not quite sure though. Anyways what do you guys think? Any advice?

Here is a quote from that Ebay post.

"perfect for a convertible owner who's top frame is damaged or bent or missing parts"

Seems like a good deal to me
