Default Update on T-TOP Divider Rubber Seal (Discontinued)

Dear All,

Just FYI TACREATIONS has them for $6 each, he limited me to 3 sets (1 x front and 1 x rear).

Just a friendly reminder!

Does it make a difference? They both are the same piece, that is what I received the last time I was forced to replace my dry rotted originals. They needed adhesive to help them stay put but they were the exact same part!

mhmm hope I didn’t get six fronts, he told me they were sets so he sold me 6? Interesting I’ll have to follow up, would the fronts work on both side?

Well maybe I got the last of them.. he sold me 6 sets, now IF he only sent me the fronts I’ll have to return them. Sucks because I thought I found something. Oh well, I know I have the front and just need to tears. I’ll let you guys know what I have when it comes in.

I ended up ordering a front piece to try to make it work. Worst case scenario I'm out $6 bucks plus shipping and I'm right where I started.

Strange that they would have different part numbers if they are the same. Looks like they were originally listed under:

10248550 (front)
10248551 (rear)

Should have been the same number if they were identical. Granted, it's certainly possible that a front piece might fit OK in the rear location - but there might have been some minor difference originally (perhaps a marginal size difference? Looks like the rear one should/would have been a bit longer originally.) I have not ever needed to replace these on any of mine, so I can't say for certain myself.

I’ve had 3 of these t-bars & the original off my car, & I can guarantee every one of these panels had different seals front & back.
i bought a pair of those on eBay a couple months ago, & they are both alike. Not correct in my book.

Bump, more and more people are saying, both are the same? Whats the verdict? I bought 6 and with shipping i'm out $44 but sure I could sell a few. Mine has had the front seal but never the back seal and never any leaking. I've seen brand new cars back in the day that never had them from the factory ha. Hope this thread keeps going so we can see whats what for everyone envolved.
