Anyone know of any? Talking about the small metal bracket that bolts to the rear of the targa panel, that the roof pins push into in order to secure the roof.

I'm still working on getting my roof sorted and just can't seem to get the pin to retreat enough into the Bpillar so whilst plan B is going to be taking the pin out and reprofiling, i'm thinking plan A should be to modify a roof pin. Just don't want to risk mine if they're not available anymore?

I've had the 'receiver' off recently to re-cover in rubber to stop a rattle.

To me, I'd say they were knocked up either in the factory or local fab' shop in Blackpool. Fairly easy to get replicated, I think.

Managed to reprofile the pin in situ so all sorted!

I'm sure Dom or similar would be able to make some up if there was a need but I guess they don't exactly need replacing often!

I replaced my roof cables this winter because one was broken. I had some issues with the adjustment on one side. But the receivers are fitted with slotted holes so I just adjusted them and now everything works fine.
