Convertible top push rod

Thanks, but the problem is that the white piece goes on the ball too easily and then falls off the ball. There does not seem to be a problem with the white plastic piece.

I did some work on mine recently. When you put the rod back on, it looks like it's on properly but in fact, you have to give it a whack with a spanner/hammer, so it's flush.

I would put money on that being your problem, when they're on properly, they don't fall off

I'll give that a try. Thanks!
