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.

might try some wreckers tommorrow, but i dont think they usually have newer fbodys...never know tho.

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 =)
