I need a couple small parts to fix my soft-top...where can I buy?
 

After getting my 101 Projects book in the mail, i started looking at the convertible roof repair. The top is in OK shape but the arms were unhooked to allow lowering & raising manually. As mentioned in the project (& several places here) the cover rattles in the wind while driving, top up or down.
The transmissions work & the pivots as well (E- control lever in Figure 1 of Project 71). The piston/arms that lift the cover deck are there & connected to the pivot but are not connected to the arms that actually lift the deck. I bought a box of assorted sized snap-rings to attach the arms to the piston/arms but they seem to bind every time. There are also bushings in the lift arms that are broken.
Is there a good source for these bushings & the clips? The split-ring clips don't seem to be doing the job & I'd like to replace the bushings as well.
Sources?

Tks!

BTW, the motor spins the transmissions so it seeems ok; I'm ordering the 2 push-rods & bushings so these little parts are all (I think) I need.....

Anyone have experience with ***********.com?

You are kidding, aren't you? You're posting on Pelican Parts BB and asking where to buy parts for your Boxster?

Nope, not kidding. But if these parts are available through Pelican, I haven't been able to find them! Trust me, I've looked !!! :confused:
The other source is the dealership & they are 100 miles from me & don't deal on-line. Just looking for an on-line source for clips, bushings, etc. that aren't on Pelican.

Simply give Pelican a call...they are more than helpful in locating parts SmileWavy

I'm more than happy to support them; about $500 in two orders so far this month!
I didn't think about them helping find the 'little stuff' if it wasn't on the website. I will do that! Thanks,

Here you go!

Boxster 986 (1997-2004) - Convertible Top, Drive

THAT'S what I'm tawkin' about! You are truly a 'Rockstar'! :D
Thanks, I looked but did not find that page. I bought the arms, bushings, etc. that are listed under Body Parts > Convertible from Pelican but could not find these clips.

No problem buddy!
Just helping out a fellow member!

I was in need of the same parts that's why I knew exactly where to find them.
