I am going to replace the top on my 68 camaro convertible. On the second roof bow from the front (the one that is over the front seat), the part that goes in the channel of the bow and is held in by 4 screws is missing. Does anyone know where i find this part or tell me what it looks like ? I have called several places, but have not had any luck finding one. thanks jack

Gene, Thanks for the information. I think I am going to make one out of some aluminum square stock. If I see one for sale I'll let you know. Jack
