Wondering if anyone has seen this before....
I have a 2023 version (v2?)of the soft top....I noticed that rear window was a bit warped. Once I removed the windows, the bow separated/split at the driver side corner.
Looks like the aluminum corner bracket cracked at the point where it meets the rear trunk bar. There is no visible damage to the soft top anywhere. I don't frequently open/prop the rear so there really haven't been any unusual stresses on the bow.
I'm thinking its a stress crack that let go....
I was hoping to find the corner bracket as a standalone part but it looks like the entire bow comes as a unit and its both pricey to buy and even more pricey to ship....any help in identifying the replacement part (just the corner bracket) would be appreciated!
