Soft top D handle-washer-shaft & linkage repair?
The handle used to open/close the top is loose. It will move up/down as if it were no longer tighten to the top/header. It appears the washer, which is pressed onto the shaft (which the handle connects too) has come off/is now loose. This shaft operates the linkage. New part(s) are cheapest on line at $275 Latch Kit #5174192AA. Question: Instead of replacing has anyone tried to drill the shaft and use a pin to keep this washer in place?
Thanks.
