I'm getting sick of replacing these things. I recently greased every hinge in the convertible top while I was replacing the canvas, and I'm still popping roll pins! It is getting frustrating, but I am getting very efficient at replacing these things.
Where are you guys buying your roll pins? I keep getting them from a local hardware store on island, and I'm suspecting they are made of cheap steel. How do homedepot, lowes, or ace roll pins fare? Or is there a place that you guys have bought them from online? -------------------- -Jay

Lol do it once. Do it right. In Home Depot buy titanium drill bits. 16/32 can't really remember the size. Then cut to fit. It's held for4 years
