Repair to cover for convertible top

Hi,

I have a 1985 Pininfarina (recently bought). Several restoration jobs but one currently is to try to refit the cover for the convertible top.

The vinyl is fine but the two plastic corner pieces are broken. The pictures below show one of them which still has the metal bracket. The other is broken and no bracket. The first shows the pieces and the second with pieces fitted together.

Any ideas on:

1. repair (but one doesn't have the metal bracket)
2. sourcing replacement parts
3. using an alternative fixing

Thanks in advance

Yep, the full metal replacements will last forever

I currently have one metal one and one original that was 2-part epoxied together. That should also be plenty strong, but it's always a doubt in the back of my mind....
