Not really a top expert, but... There is one easy fix, that's if
the eye is cracked where it screws onto the hydraulic ram. If it isn't
that it's a pretty scary problem. Doing the top by hand CAN be done
but takes a bit of muscle AND you have to flip the valve accessible
through the trunk to bypass the hydraulics. So doing what he's suggesting
doesn't make sense. You really want the hydraulics to work, otherwise
you're not going to get your money's worth out of the top. I have read
you can do a complete top swap, but that means finding a donor car, time,
and space. My feeling is a broken piece in the top framework is likely
to be a big, big minus. Don't give up, they're wonderful things especially
when it's above 50 and the sun is out.
