4 Wheel Drive/SUVs: rear retainer bar, muffler shop, jeep wrangler

Question
I bent the rear bow that goes over the rear window on my Jeep Wrangler 2002, is there a way to fix or do I have to replace it.  It's about six inches out of place and has a bent in it.

Please help.

Answer
Gin,

This depends on how bad the bend is, and if it is a smooth bend without any kinks.  I would talk to one of your local body shops, and see if they have a tubing bender, that they can use to straighten it out.  Another chance, is to check with a local muffler shop, as they usually have several different types of benders, and my straighten it out for a minimal cost.
