Default 77 moon roof guide pins

I bought a set of Saratoga moon roofs for my 77, but the passenger side guide pin is broken. Does anyone know where I can get a new one? I can't find any moon roof parts anywhere. Will a convertible top guide pin work? They look very similar.

Any help would be appreciated,

Joseph

Not sure why it would be different from the stocker, try Northern Corvette, bought new old stock Moon roofs from him. I believe he still has some in stock may have parts.

The stock one will not work as it is completely different. The stock one attaches to the lever.

I broke one on my moon roofs. I took the other one out and had two made by a friend at a machine shop. Thought I had one left, I looked for it today but could not find it. Sorry

Thanks for looking. I think I am going to try convertable guide pins as they look to be very close if not the same.

they are after market top pins. I believe they are still available.

I believe I have a set. PM me if you get desperate and I will look. These pins are no longer available as of 1-6-17.

Convertible pins will not work. Different hole spacing. Smaller.
