Good morning all:
I have a little problem with our 1964 crown convertible. Both of the
support arms for the top have broken at the bottom. I'm a little
surprised
at this since it is a low mileage very nice original car. These arms
are a
rather complicated looking casting that other parts of the top
mechanism
attach to. There is a right and left one that are above the rear
window
area
that support the rest of the top. They pivot at the bottom on a pin
or
bar. Right now the top is up, but cannot be put
down
without the
arms coming loose from the bar or pin they ride on.
Has anyone had experience repairing or replacing something like this?
Does anyone know if a replacement part is available? This is a very
nice car that deserves to be back on the road again.
You can reply privately to grandcar@xxxxxxxxxxxx if you like.
Thanks very much for your assistance,
Robert, Durango, Colorado
