On my relatively new to me 01 Base, I need to replace the top and I noticed that the “tensioning” wires are missing/broken. I’m not sure if that’s the correct term for them but I was looking through a how to and saw that they are connected to metal frame pieces by a spring and attach under the clamshell. Are these pieces available separately or will I need to get a top with a frame from a wrecker?
