I have a 120 gallon All Glass Aquarium and it has 3 glass tops across the top
that came with the tank. Sometimes I take these off or even leave it open but
the problem is on each of them the beige/brownish plastic hinge is going bad.
I know it's a very simple piece to hold the glass top to the piece of glass
that swings open but it seems that there would be a placew to get this. I
emailed All Glass Aquarium about it but their response was to get a new versa
top at my local pet store. I don't know if this means the complete glass top or
what it is but this doesn't seem necessary and they said to look for part #
29101.

Most LFS I have been to carry it. Usually, it is in the back or some
obscure place that is not in plain sight. You may want to bring a sample
piece to show them what you are talking about.

My LFS has it as well... Sold by the foot from 6 or so foot lengths..
If you cannot find any, I would be willing to get some local and send it
your way..

ARE you refering to the hinge or the gap cover for the back of the cover?
He wants the hinge for between 2 pieces of glass.

Yes, the hinge. If you guys are in Chicago I can tell you two different LFS
off the top of my head that have it.
It is sold in 3ft sections. AAMOF, I have an extra one if you get stumped,
