Hello,

I recently brought a second hand OEM soft top that has a broken tab that attaches to a stud on the drive side cargo area
I was hoping someone could help me identify what this tab is for and if there is an associated part number for it.
I could not find any information for it online.

The soft top does have the IAG EZ Lift installed, not sure if it is associated with that, or if its a OEM component.

It's not part of the IAG EZ Lift kit, which I have installed. (It was not added when I installed the kit.) It seems to be there for lateral support to hold the bottom of the soft top against the extended tab in the photos below to prevent sideways movement.

Interesting. Looks like it might be for alignment or something. It does have some numbers on it, but none seem to be associated to a part number

Phil Abbett (@flip), VP/Partner at Ruxer Ford in Jasper, Indiana, posted some parts diagrams a while back. He may be able to get a replacement part for you. I suggest you reach out to him via DM or simply contact him by phone at his dealership. I buy most of my parts from Ruxer because of the discount they offer B6G members.

Side plastic windows are over $700/each, rear doesn't show a retail price but will probably be right around $1K. Soft top cover in second pic will be over $3K. Top frame by itself over $3K so I need to revise this to probably $9K with all parts, seals and hardware.
