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 my bad I forgot about that sticker inside the door. They still did a crap job. They dont seem to hold up to aging very well. Ive had problems with both of my verts so far. I havent been able to find much info on our tops. Ive got a Haynes repair manual and it barely touches on the tops. I thought about a Chilton but all I have found cover the ST models (yes I know all verts are GT coupes).
