Re: Pros and cons of removable Phaeton top?
"Is there any easy way to get at that piece without removing the stitching of the back seat and removing it to get at the broken piece?"
Unfortunately not. I had to do it once for each side (at different times). There can be a bit of weight from the folded down top cantilevering that internal nut for the support rod.
I did change to a twist lock fastener at the tack rail (you will need to sew on an exetension panel) to make the top completely removable. Actually, I havent had the top on for two years, prefer the open air feeling and you can see a bit more in the rearview mirror when the folded top is not there.
Peace,
Phred
