The drivers side pivot arm apparently came off the little stud and now its bent and clam shell on drivers side wont close completely sticks up almost 2 inches,.??

probably should purchase new, most used resellers (including us) would only sell the complete frame of the top, but the parts are relatively cheap and realignment is easy for someone who knows how the tops operate

You can probably find all of the parts you need on Ebay. You need to take your clamshell off, and lay it on a flat surface to see if it's tweeked. It's a two person job to untweek it by twisting it. It needs to lay perfectly flat on the flat surface. I've been fighting with my top lift mechanisms since I got the car--every part of the linkage was either broken or bent. Even one of the drive cables was stripped. And the gears in the transmissions were stripped.

Very frustrated with whom ever installed the top,..its new,.But I don't know how new and I think that the little plastic type protective pieces that fit forward of the rear glass at least the drivers side fell off when the wife tried to lower the top,.lucky for me shes smart,.and knew quickly something was wrong and put the top back up,.
