Hi
No I am talking about the inside part that has the latches and the pins the is glued/glassed to the outer shell. My pin ends are rotted out..
figured there would be someone that sells a replacement piece to reglass/glue on

No there is no replacement piece available. You can take them apart carefully and make the repairs and glue them back together just like the rest of the car. I had to do this on mine, all the captured nuts and cages were rusted or gone and I had to make new ones and put them back together.

Be careful when you give'em a pull. I did that with mine and the "plastic velcro tabs" pulled out of the paper like backing on the t-top liner.
I used old fashed white "elmers glue" to glue the little metal "velcro tab holder" back in place. Might be easier to remove if they are warmed up in the sun or with a heat gun. Not an easy thing to instal either. I had mine apart and together 3 times to get it fitting right. Installed the t-top on the car and installed the liner when I was sitting in the car. A little "pop" with the back of my fist seemed to hold it. You'll hear the "plastic velcro" click together when it "hammered home"
