To anyone that knows,

My top stopped working. The passenger side appeared to be stuck (in the down position). The driver side attempts to rise when closing, but can't get pass a certain point because the other side won't go up. After reading a few post on this forum I was able to put the top into service mode. While prying one of the arms off (the one with the red cap end) I broke the red cap thing.

I want to replace the arm with the red cap and the tension cable that raises and lowers the roof. Does anyone know where I can get these parts (assuming the dealer is over priced)? How much do they normally cost?

Thanks in advance,
