I received and installed my original Sunrider in July of 2020. I noticed in November 2020 that my passenger side Z-clip was broken. The top was replaced under warranty and the new one has been on the truck since December 2020. This morning when I arrived at work, as I was closing the top, I heard a loud 'POP'. Of course I immediately though of the Z-clip and sure enough it has broken again. So disappointing. I guess I'll have to try to come up with some sort of DIY fix.

The Z-clips are the dumbest thing I've ever seen. I'll never forget trying to assemble a Sunrider for Hardtop for the very first time. I think I actually cussed, and I don't normally cuss.

did you found a way to fix the problem. I recently purchased a used sunrider and did not know the z-clips were broken. Did you do a DIY to fix it?

One of mine broke as well. You come up with any solution?
