I am fixing the top cylinder, i lost a C-clip that connects one side of the cylinder to the assembly. Any way can you pull the part number for it? It should be the front convertible top roof cylinder; the pin is one on left side which looks like a C-clip.

Hi,

Unfortunately, the clip's size isn't provided in the manuals. However, that should be easy to find.

The clip is called an E-Clip. If you go to any parts stores, they should have an assortment kit for under 10 dollars. I found a part number from Dorman if you want to check out what I'm referring to. The part number is, "Dorman 13325 E."

I attached a pic below. If you do go to a parts store, most have what is called a "Help Section" in the store that has a lot of Dorman replacement parts. That is where you would likely find these.

Let me know if this helps.

Take care,

joe
