That's a pic of a semi-tubular rivet that I thought would fix the OP up by slipping over the shaft of the broken holding pin along with a little JB Weld. Here is a pic of the holding pins as they are seen on the the soft top frame. Mickmate has them in stock, but if you call them "holding pins" he will charge you a premium.

I understand completely, from now on they will be called semi-tubular rivet, thanks for your help I appreciate it.

But you can only use a semi-tubular rivet if part of the old holding pin is still sticking out. If you managed to break it off flush, then I think I'd just drill it out and use a Double Capped Screw Rivet in there -- you could put that in with your fingers and a little thread lock. That would be really easy to do. Personally, I always like to take the easy fix if possible. And if it's at least partially half-ass, that's all the better.

Ummm, even if it's not broke off it may be best to just drill it out and start over looks like there are plenty of the Double Screw Rivet at around.

Yes, but you get bonus points on the half-ass scale for any use of JB Weld whatsoever. |
