Default 2008 Convetibe Top ribs

Good Day everyone: Has anyone had problems with the ribs on the convertible tops? On my 2008 the rib closest to the rear window is either broken or disconnected from the linkage on the passenger side. Can't see in without removing molding to free the cloth cover. Top raises & lowers OK, but I am concerned it will get pinched & cause real damage.

Good Morning Freedmilk,

I understand that you seem to be experiencing the same convertible top concern as the OP, and I’d be more than willing to look up any related open recalls for your vehicle as well. If this would be of interest to you, please send us a private message with your VIN and current mileage.

If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Regards,

Angela O.
