Repairing damaged HeliCoils on MeanSling Sport Top

Until just recently I have been some what ignorant of how to repair a damaged HeliCoil. So just in case there are others that own the MeanSling Sport Top and have pulled the helicoils out of the front adjusting/attach bracket like I did, I ordered the kit below which allowed me to easily and inexpensively repair the damaged HeliCoil(s).

Actually Bill, I believe the helicoil is used to repair the thread in the clamp. The clamp isn’t a helicoil.
I’m ordering these though. One of mine is close to needing repair.

The top has been stashed while enjoying the summer weather, now with fall/winter just around the corner, the cooler temps have prompted me to dig it out.

That’s interesting Bro. I only use the top in July and Aug. need the shade then.

After nearly six years of ownership now, we just returned from our very first after dark outing with the SlingShot. Planning on the temps getting down into the lower 50's, I had put on a vest under my wind breaker, but pulled over and removed the vest because of the top retaining heat so well.
