you can consider that... however, the size and shape of that piece of metal is big, it looks like a small piece but in fact it extends all the way to the back of the side window, PLUS, it's very hard to remove from the top assembly.


the cost and work on removing the top is straight forward, but to remove the particular part is quite some work.

And to find a shop that can 3D print or fabricate to the same spec is possible but who knows how much work and the cost.

And to put it back together and make sure it works flawlessly is another challenge.

the whole process could take up to more than a month without firmly knowing it will work or not.

with so many unknown, thus I bought a used top for 3k and just do a simple swap.
