Targa top

[Dave Meredith]

One of the lugs that fits into the top of the windscreen has broken off on my targa top. I didn't discover this until I had an unexpected gush of fresh air on the M1 at 80mph! Anyway, I managed to pull over to the hard shoulder without losing it completely.
Are these lugs replaceable or are they moulded in to the targa top? There's nothing in the Steve Heath manual and before I start to remove the trim I thought I'd ask the experts!

Two weeks in to TVR ownership and I'm loving every minute! I drove into a housing estate recently after dark and slowed down because children were playing in the road. Despite the poor light one of them ran after the car crying "it's a TVR!". If I had any doubts about owning a TVR I don't anymore!

thanks

Dave

Do a search - I think in the past people have drilled the old lugs out and replaced them with aluminium of the same thickness. They have to embed into the hood by a few inches and be epoxied in.
