Shapeways for Convertible Latch and '66 Headlight Adjusters

I wonder how they would hold up in the heat down here. The last nylon ones I put on here, where they've seen 125degree heat in the shade and much hotter in the sun, worked for a summer, the heat bent them out and they broke between the two bolts/rivets. 3 sets in 5 years and gave up getting more from a different vendor.

Been using speaker wire and twisting it around the stops and the top frame to keep the top down for years as a result.

I've toyed with the idea of making a cad diagram and 3d printing some with carbon fiber media.

What is the strength difference between Natural, Processed, and Premium?

Are the black ones stronger than the white ones?

What you have is exactly why I made these as those were junk. I don’t think there’s any difference in strength of material. It’s just how smooth of a finish it gives. I live in the desert so mine have seen hundred plus days many times.
