Engineer got a part for car's roof (5,3)
I believe the answer is:
targa top
'car's roof' is the definition.
'engineer got a part' is the wordplay.
'engineer' indicates anagramming the letters.
'got'+'a'+'part'='gotapart'
'gotapart' with letters rearranged gives 'TARGA TOP'.
'for' is the link.
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
