Default targa problem

I stripped 1 of my front targa bolts and I need to get another.
Where can I get one?
Dealer is supposed to get some, but they don't know when and Ecklers and the rest only sell the rears.

Try these guys......

They're in Ft. Lauderdale. Even if you don't see it on their website, call them. They're pretty cool and will look and see what they have laying around.

Been there, done that. I've found the seats are pretty hard, they usually don't strip. On the other hand, the bolts are fairly soft, so, just take a 3 corner file and work the threads on the bolt(maybe you've got a thread chaser).

In my case, the 1st thread was screwed (umm) up and it was real easy to fix the problem.
