need part for factory TJ soft top

Anyone know where I can get one of those plastic caps that go on either
end of the center top bow on a factory soft top ('97 TJ)? It's used to
attach the top and side bows and I lost one. They are not sold
separately at the dealer but as part of the entire bow assembly for
something ridiculous like $400.

Thanks,
Howie

I forgot to mention that I tried the relay switch behind the glove
box.. I replaced it and it didn't make a difference..

Mine stripped so I bought something like this:

I can't remember where I got them, and mine are silver, but they are
fantastic!

Thanks for the response but I'm not sure we're talking about the same
part. I believe the replacement part you're referring to attaches the
top bow to the roll bar and allows for quick disconnect of the
hardware? The end cap I need fits into the top/center bow and allows
the side bow to snap into it.

thx

btw - I called Quadratec yesterday and they don't have this part I
need.
