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

QUOTE (TRDweaponX @ Sep 9, 2013 - 6:56 AM)  Toyota did a crap job on the convertible tops for our cars Actually toyota had ASC do our tops. Toyota shipped the unfinished cars to California from the Japan manufacturing plant and they finished the production in California. So ASC did a crap job on our tops -------------------- -Jay
