My wifes convertable frame has broke in one of the joints and is now causing the top to leak and rattle. I turn wrenches for a living but only when it comes to mechanical issues and some body work. Ive never messed with convertables and so I humble my self and im askin for help? I found a frame at my cousins pull a part looks to be in good shape. Does anyone know where i can find a tear down for it?

there are roll pins in the hinge bushings. use a punch to push the pins out. you then should be able to remove the piece you need. when you put the new part on use cotter pins in place of the roll pins.
