It's sort of fixed. Basic problem is, IMHO, a questionable design. The four lift brackets attach to the top in four mild steel blocks welded to the poptop frame - with a simple drill and tap about 5/16" deep. Not ideal.
We drilled them out, put in helicoils and reattached the swivel jobbies. Piece of cake as Caiden had everything purchased and ready to go - and brought Pliny the Elder for lubrication. Top works perfect now.
But I think the swivel jobbies would be better off welded to the blocks, as the threads are going to strip again, and the smallish studs will break again. So I reached out to a few welder friends, as my welding isn't the best. But they might have jobs now, and not be able to do it, in which case my bad welding will have to come to the rescue again.
