Snapped passenger door moulding
So I was taking my soft top off of the first time today, had the owners manual out, open, and going step by step (guess the navy teaches some good habits). While I was trying to get it out of the channel on the passenger side the channel snapped off the moulding. I left it in the folded position when I went to unbolt it from the bracket and all of the T30 bolts just spun and didn't back out. Will it be safe to put the top back up and where can I find a replacement part other then the dealership? And if anodyne has ideas about the T30s that would be great too. Thanks everyone.

You broke the door surround retaining channel where the edge of the soft top has plastic retainers that tuck in?
If so, you'll likely need a new door surround. They changed after model year '09, so make sure you get the right year.
What T30 bolts are you trying to remove? Are you just taking the top down? or removing it completely?
Parts are available at a lot of places like Quadratec, Morris 4x4, etc.
as well as private sellers. Search for "soft top parts"
