nope, wasn't trying to break any records... but might have set one anyway. i was doing the 'top down while moving' mod. using my trusty swiss army knife and some borrowed, but mutilated electrical tape that i got from modifry.

see, it was raining off and on the entirety of SESM. i was top upping and downing all day when we'd hit rain or break out into some clear. a lot of people saw it, didn't have it, wanted it... so i was giving it out after the big drive.

it's a gread mod to have in florida. it freaks people out when you raise the top as soon as the first rain drops fall in stop and go traffic.

If you were going to fix it, plastic 2 part epoxy will make it stronger than stock.

Dave, that might be true, but in time (and w/ heat exposure) the epoxy will brittle, and break very easily.

You need to use a liquid ABS plastic to bond them back together... course its a completely moot point because the part is so cheap
