I have a 95 TA missing this piece...
The very small plastic piece of trim that sits just behind the windshield in front of the bar between the t-tops... What is this called and is there any chance of ever finding one to replace my missing one?

salvage yard would be your best bet

this. I spotted 3 or 4 T-top cars in the yard when I was there last.

only 1 t-top itself, and it was damaged, but the trim and all seemed to be in place still.

you may pay like $3 for it if you go a pull a part type yard. they'll just label it as "trim."

I lost mine and never worried much about it, never hurt anything for me.

See your local GM dealer.
If they don't have them, tell them to check around.
Less than $2 a piece.

There's a recent thread here somewhere, ...

Thanks everyone - fantastic! I wasn't sure if the piece was critical for keeping leaks at bay - didn't seem to be an issue, but I have one in the rear, just not in the front... Maybe a little bit of OCD makes me want to make sure I have both.
Looks like I'll be headed into South Phoenix this weekend to the wrecking yards and looking around.
Thanks again!!

Forget the boneyards, this is one part that may be cheaper from the dealer. I bought several just in case I lost one sould they get discontinued. The new ones seem to be made from a hard plastic vs rubber that was on the car. They will likely hold up pretty well, maybe better in hour climate than rubber.

Those parts are discontinued.. I have the info on a guy who has a bag of them.. ' sjsingle1 ' is his handle. He says he has several but has to locate the bag... There were several offers for $20 a set so get ready.. they wont be cheap unless you can find a dealer that has some in the back somewhere...

I had to replace mine years ago since they both dry rotted to nothing. What you are looking for is the rubber "roof cap seals", front and rear, for the center T-top bar. I found another LS1 tech thread providing the actual GM part numbers since you won't find them on the blow up of our T-tops which is very odd.

I bought mine from Hawks Motorsports but I can't find them listed anymore. I seriously can not believe that NO ONE is reproducing these cheap little rubber u-clips for the T-top center bar. Now I am scared, and they don't even offer the weather seals for the doors anymore. My only suggestion would be to get some ideas from a custom shop, maybe one of their guys can whip up something that works equally as well or better. You only need these ends to help keep water from entering the T-top so I am sure something can be made. It is all we can do.

God, they have support for older cars than ours and yet we are the ones getting the shaft...


I don't know about you but I actually plan on holding on to my 1997 Trans Am WS6 so I need replacement parts. Someone has to bitch and complain to help get the demand going for these parts. Otherwise they need to be replaced with out-of-the-box methods using fabricated parts. I refuse to let a rubber T-top center bar end cap deter me from holding on to my car!

FYI TA CREATIONS is selling these for $6 each BRAND NEW, I was limited to a set of 6 (3 front and 3 back). Just FYI.

Just waiting on the PP invoice!

These are new? Doesn't TA Creations USA deal in salvaged parts? I imagine their stock must be salvaged or if they managed to come across some new old stock which means it will run out eventually. If what they are selling is nothing new then I am left wondering if anyone can make them. They are simple rubber ends that you basically feed into the center T-top bar, hell, you can probably have them 3D printed out of plastic if you were desperate enough.

Yep new, he bought all that GM had left several years ago. He limited me to 3 full sets.
