S13 vert top bent help

[nicks13vert]

Hi so some asshat decided to sit on my vert top when the roof was folded down and the frame bent on the drivers side, if anyone has any experience with convertibles please let me knowhttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/01/07/1208948d81c8f40b23d2ecb212eae867.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/01/07/8f09bd7ed960c58cf21adb3ad0ab997c.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/01/07/c84a4314429a8991d14941b1e184fe87.jpg

Is it the hinge on the front rail that is bent or is it the front rail itself? Looks like you're going to need to bend some metal back either way. If you're not able to get enough free play to bend it back the way it currently sits, you'll probably need pull the cover and drill out the rivets from the guide cables so the frame can move past the limited range of motion caused by the guide cables.

I was pretty sure it's the hinge but i tried bending it back with a hammer and a couple rags over it and it wouldn't go back into place
