Default 996 cab top has a gap

My cab has a bit of a gap on the passenger side. I looked inside for any loose cables but didn't see anything. Just wondering if anyone has some experience out there as this might be a quick fix. Thanks in advance.

Ok, it looks like this is the same case as the thread, but when I look for the part number I dont see it anywhere in the US, I do see it in UK though. part 99756192100. I saw someone make one... wondering if I have to take that route.

So I took some pictures when I fixed mine. I used a stainless bolt instead of a rivet so it wouldn't break again. I'll find them and try to post them up tomorrow. Whole project took an hour or so.

Ok guys....it was the rivet. Found a guy in NJ who was able to repair it in about 40 mins for under $100 bucks. If you have the same priblem and in jersey look up John at Ace auto upholstery. Here is how mine looked:
