I had a parking deck rip off my lightbar and damage the plastic piece running along my soft top. Does anyone know what that piece is called or if they make replacement parts for it? The canvas top is fine and hoping not to have to replace all of that. If Bronco 2.jpg

Ugh, sorry to see this! I would doubt that they have any individual soft top components available yet. And even if they did, it looks like the screws were ripped out of the structure of the soft top itself. It doesn't look like the bracket is damaged, per se. Hope you find a resolution that doesn't require a call to the insurance company!

I would also be going back to that parking garage to make sure the height limitations are clearly posted and that the measurements on the sign are accurate with the actual height of the garage deck.

That's a terrible idea, when do we start?

I would also double check the height of your Bronco with the light bar installed and compare that to the posted max clearance. Then go to the spot you hit the light bar and check and make sure it's at least the same as the posted max clearance. I GUARANTEE you that the garage is going to claim that you exceeded the max clearance they have posted so you want to do all those measurements before you talk to them because I wouldn't put it past them to change the signage.

Ugh - that sucks but I would try and back out the bolts and affix the piece with some epoxy and then reattach the bolts - I bet it will be fine!
