Default 5.0 mustang convertible metal part cracked

I have not seen anyone talke about this. I am not talking about the top. I am talking about the metal part that goes down when putting the top down. Can someone please help. I cracked the metal part whenI was driving and decided to put the top down. I must have not been going slow enough because the wind pushed hard enough to crack it in half. Where can I buy one and where do I go to get it put on?

best bet would be to scour junk yards and strip and paint if needed. i used to work at a bone yard and you could probably pick up the whole top frame for $50 or less. hope this helps

also you really shouldn't put your top down when moving, but i'm sure you already learned that.

Try the convertible section for more answeres and I would look at 50resto, or one of the million online sites.

Thanks for the help. I was talking about the frame. I guess Im gonna have to go to the junkyard. LOL I did learn even though a little too late that I shouldnt be moving when putting the top down.
