Yes it will.

For some reason or other, my other answer for you on this subject wasn't posted.

I'd give a call to Solarcon and describe to them the age and what happened, they often will send you a replacement top section free.

Thanks Bob. As usual, you're right. I easily get lost in the forum from time to time. Thanks for showing me the way.
