i have sold my 1992 neon blue cabrio but on testing the roof for the buyer, there was a loud crack and the mechanism stopped. on inspection there is an L shaped metal arm with a gold hoop on the end that connects to the roof, which has snapped - leaving the gold hoop attatched to the roof mechanism and the rest in the parcel shelf compartment, in its original position. can i gt hold of this part on its own or is it part of a bigger mechanism?
