Three of the four internal plastic brackets that hold the rear securing bar in place on my '92 T4 Troopers pop top have broken, does anyone know where I can get suitable replacements from?   scratch head 

Thanks

Thanks for your rapid response Paul up! pretty obvious really I suppose but I actually didn't consider them as I thought I'd just get a 'we don't stock spares for a conversion that old' type of response.
I've sent them a message on your recommendation so we shall see.
Anyone else know of any other parties (preferably available online) who has a suitable replacement part?

I'm fairly sure that the solid-side pop-up roof was completely unique to A-S, so, unlike the Reimo roof system that they only fitted as an option during the last couple of years of production, all of the parts would have been sourced directly by A-S.

It's quite likely that they used a generic part from somewhere, but IMO it's not likely that whoever they sourced it from would know what they used it for! The only other likely source would be a motorhome breakers - one of the two clubs (I ~think~ the Caravan Club) used to publish a list of those to members on their website, and may still do - I haven't checked recently.

If you don't have any joy with A/S you could try your local breakers yard who will go on a breakers on line system and search for your parts.
