I suppose you unknowingly applied pressure from a couple of sides - right on a weak point.
That sucks.
I've dropped one mine after waxing the vehicle and my hands were slippery. As it fell I went to my knees and sort of slowed it's decent. I managed to save it. No scratches at all.
Good luck in your search to find a replacment.

On a side note.
Why would someone sell a T-Top? Payam said you could find one for sale, of which I have no doubt but I can't think of a reason as to why someone would need to sell one..........
Mabye they can only be bought in pairs and a person only needed one.
Dunno.

Ebay normally has them on there for a couple hundred.
What year are you looking for?

You might want to check with your local junk yards, maybe they have some parts cars. That's always a good way to find single stuff for our cars.

Yeah, went to Ralphs today down by Scott Road (my local wreckers) Had a few late 80's early 90's camaros. Didnt see any F bodys of any sorts tho. Had a pickup bed full of ttops. various models. none i could use.

Ebay currently has some off a 97 TA for 250US. cheapest bet so far. Tho i might just drive my commuter till i come across a deal. Me broke =)
