I'm looking to replace the convertible top tension strings/cords on my 2008 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster and I'm having a hard time verifying which parts I need so I have two photos. One is zoomed into the actual part and the other is zoomed out for reference on where it is located. I found the following parts but I'd like confirmation that they are correct. It looks to me like this particular string runs along the bottom of the rear window as the trim around it tightens up a bit when I add some tension.
V8 Vantage Roadster Roof Right Side Tension Belt Part Code: 6G33-F502D42-AA
V8 Vantage Roadster Roof Left Side Tension Belt Part Code: 6G33-F502D41-AA
Unfortunately the diagrams online aren't any help so I'm hoping someone here has some insight into this to help me get started ordering the correct parts. I'd like to replace the left and right since these are all original parts and aging equally.
I have contacted Scuderia parts and they were not very helpful with any questions, they only said they could not ship me these two parts and ended the conversation. Another supplier said he wasn't sure what came in these kits because its a bundle. I also emailed Aston Martin directly a few minutes ago but I'm not confident they will help me. Any assistance that can be provided would be immensely helpful and appreciated. I wish there was an actual photo for these parts so I could just easily see if it was correct.
For context: The reason for this is that line seems to have stretched and the headliner is slightly lower at the bottom of the rear window and scraped along the spike on the deployable rollbar and cut into my headliner.
