Default Part # Help Needed!!

I have 2002 Camaro SS 35th LE Vert. About a year ago I was having problems with my top opening, and while I was inspecting the various parts of the linkage I accidentally broke a piece on the passenger side(turned out the problem was the switch and nothing to do with the top). The part that I broke is hard to describe but I will try. If you start to put the top down, as it folds there is a small rod(like the size of pen but much thinner) that is near the top of the top that becomes exposed. This rod kind of swivels at both ends of its attatchment to the main folding structure. It is at one of these swivel points where the damage occured. The top still functions normally except it does not keep the passenger side rigid and causes a rattling noise when going over bumps that is staring to bother me. Also, when it rains(which is rare here in AZ), it causes the seal not to be tight and leaks slightly.

Does anyone happen to know what the actual part# is of this piece or does anyone know where I can find a good picture of the various parts to delineate what specific part this is?

I have the drawings of the top for my WS6 - I think they are identical. I can email them to you if you want them. I'll send a PM.
