Question Where do I find this convertible top part?

Hello,

I have a 96 Camaro convertible and I just broke an end on this rod which pushes back the middle section of the top when it folds down. I only had one when I bought the car (I know there should have been two, one for each side) and now I have to fold it by hand... The problem is I can't find these parts anywhere, I don't even know how to call them to ask for them!

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks a million!

Good luck. Had that same issue on my 96'. Was looking for years! Never did find a replacement and eventually sold he car before ever finding it or what it was even called...

junk yard??? there are a few 4th gen camaros conv i've seen in local yard... but to ship it to you would be pricey i'd imagine... but if you're willing to pay i'm willing to ship. I'm in San Diego, California just give me dimensions so i get the right one.

Ultra Z that is awesome news. You need not worry about shipping cost, it's going to be about 40$ USPS Priority and I'm OK with it.

I need at least a good pair of these rods, one drivers and one passengers side. They have ball sockets on both ends and are about 8 inches long. They are not of variable length so if they look like in the picture that's it! When I got the car I had only one rod left and it bent and broke a socket...

Please email me on felix.dumitrescu@gmail.com or leave me a PM with your phone number so I can get in touch. I can paypal you the money for shipping and the rods!

Thank you very much for offering to help, it's very generous of you!
Felix.
