Default South Floridians: NEED T-TOP!

Today I booked a car hauler to have my Camaro taken from Florida to my home in Ohio. The last two days the car has been in the transmission shop having the lockup fixed. I get there to pick up the car and my transmission guys says "Well I have good news and bad news, good news is the lock up is working, bad news is there was a bit of an accident."

I look and one of the T tops is missing, the trim is all out of whack, and the metal latch is bent. I guess he was on 595 and it just blew off.

So I have 1 day to find a T top or I lose $750 on the car hauler. Anyone in South Florida have a Drivers side T top? I believe they are the Fisher factory installed units.

That happens all the time.....when it isn't latched. Was that their (un)doing, and are they taking responsibility if it was?
I have a pair of plastic ones, but I'm just a tad north of you up here in Illnoise.

Thats what I thought, but the fact that the metal latch on the rearmost part of the frame is bent indicates that it was latched at the time.

Good news is they are able to postpone the transporter, and I have a T top at my home in Ohio. I had my buddy go over there and grab it, he's going to UPS it to me in the morning.
