I was closing my new top and the Finger Hold, the recessed piece in the middle of the front of the top that you put your fingers in to pull the top down the final couple of inches, came off in my hand. It appears to have previously been glued in place. It also looks like it might have originally been screwed rather than glued. Anyone dealt with this before? I looked at the schematics in the manual and couldn't find anything regarding how it's mounted other than it's called the "Finger Hold". Any suggestions for a fix greatly appreciated.

It's screwed on and getting the angle of the screw to line up properly is a real pain.

Yes, you need a long, thin phillips head to R&R and easier to do when the top is down. Last I checked, they were still available but pricey. I could look it up, but I think it was almost 60.00!! I bit the bullet and bought one since mine had a big triangular chunk missing. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/blink.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />
