I've just bought a Crossfire Roadster and I'm (mostly) happy with it - however - as the title of the thread suggests, I have an issue with the roof - The Side Flap cable is frayed inside the sleeve, so the spring doesn't have enough 'power' to pull the flap back when the roof is being lowered - so I need a replacement.

I've tried 5 different Chrysler dealers (including any mentioned on the forum)
I've tried to order from the US only to have my money returned as the part was unavailable

The part Number (and official name ) is: Side flap Tonneau cable PART NO 05140962AA

Every dealer reports it's available as a "back order", but can't quote an ETA. Should I order this part ? Has anyone any experience of 'back-ordering' ?

Can anyone help or suggest anything - or know of anywhere that I can get one made ?

Many thanks in advance.....

I just hope it's easier to get other parts as and when needed (!)
