Default T top handle broken

Today on the way to work, I put my T tops back on the top of the
car. After I turned the handle of the driver's side T top, it fell onto
the seat. I have not had a chance to look at it yet. Can I buy a
new plastic handle for it? It looks like the plastic handle just came off
of the metal gear. Is there a fix for it?

thanks.

There is a little metal clip that holds the handle on. I found it missing when I came home the other night. Problem solved.
I'm surprised on one else has ever run into this before!

Thats weird. Sounds like someone had been working on that before. They would have been fully in from the factory.

No one has ever done work on the t-tops. I do all my own work. It is weird that it just fell out or broke, though the clip is very small.
