A useful part for convt-top

Here is a good part for the convertible top. I read a lot of posts about this plastic rod end part breaking. Here is a good replacement:

Scott came up with those metal joints about 2 years ago. I would not mind putting them on a car. But there is an issue if there is a malfunction. The plastic joints are the weak link in the system. If something goes wrong they break. If they are made of metal and something goes wrong.........something else is going to break.

Can you buy the plastic ends seperately?

Nope, you have to buy the entire rod. And the red plastic joint is now white. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=68&st=0&#entry384
