Default T-Top help please...

The clasp on my t-top (the thingy that you squeeze shut to lock the top closed) has broken, and even though they lock still, they don't close tightly. The wind can open it enough for wind to get in. Can I buy just the clasp thingy(I have no idea what it's really called), or do i really need to get new tops?

thanks

You can purchase a replacement part. Chicago Corvette has a good catalog and you will find the part you need on page 144-145. I have purchased several items from them and have had good service, plus their prices are not out of line.

Here is their address: http://www.chicagocorvette.com 708-458-2500

Hope this helps :flag
