Replace Cab Top Rods??

I'm a recent new owner & took my 98 boxster in for a dealer service / oil change since it was due. I got the spiel from the service adviser on a few things. He asked if we had any trouble lowering the top. I told him no it's been up and down several times in the 4 mos we've had the car. He told me that they recommended replacing the "cab top rods" - the left one is broken & the right one is cracked..... Got the car home & raised the top partially where just rear deck is up... I got a flashlight and inspected both sides. I expected to find the left side hanging there with the right doing all the work. Both seem to be fine. Am I missing something? I have a call in to the adviser to see if I missed something. They quoted $159.64 for parts & 1.5 hrs labor. Looks pretty straightforward to replace these. Looks like a clip at the top & a ball / socket snap on at the bottom. Am I missing something here?
