Convertible Vehicles - Where To Find Convertible Top Parts

My vert recently broke a small part in the folding mechanism that is right above the windows. It causes the first bow in the top to fold down correctly when putting the top down. Without it, putting the top down means you have to let the top most of the way down, then push the bow back into the folds where is needs to be, then let the top the rest of the way down. I will post pics of what I am looking for as soon as I get my camera to download.

But my question is, where can I find individual parts that go in the vert top linkage? I went to GMPartsDirect and found it, but it listed no price. I had to fill out a form asking for a quote and got a response that the part is no longer made by GM. Usually when someone has a wrecked vert, they want to sell the top as a whole unit instead of parts. I do plan to make a post in the Parts Wanted section once I get my picture downloaded, but I wondered if there are other sources for these types of parts.

Where is the shop? Maybe I could call them and get them to pull and ship. Or I could make the drive down there. Not many birds around here so I will probably have to get it from a distance either way. Here is a pic of the part I need (need 2 of them actually, one for each side). I am about to post this in the parts needed forum.

Notice that the head of the plastic cap is broken on the left end. It should look like this one.

Reportedly ASC did the original convertible tops for F-Bodies, might try pinging them too:
