Such a jerk, lol. Well I'm glad you got a decades worth of em. Remember sharing is caring for your F-Body bretheren

I will try all the dealerships in Lowell, I'm sure they can ship out to Cali.

Thank you

No need to share. There are thousands out there. In the time it took you to post this thread, you could have called your local dealer and had them do a national search for you as suggested above. All can do it. Really easy. Really quick.

They are just gap fillers and also shed water around the T-Top weather seals. If one could find the correct material, they'd be pretty easy to fabricate.

They are on the dealer diagram, or at least they were about 3-4 weeks ago when I looked at it with my dealer. They are the end caps that can be seen in the diagram of the T-bar, and their part number is listed on that screen.

From my experience with this kind of thing, the majority of the parts guys at the dealers say this to blow me off so they don't have to really look for it. Usually to do a national search, they need to type the part number in to another computer at the desk. The key is to ask them to do a "national search." I also recall that these part numbers did not show up in the regular part diagrams, either. I was able to find them in the fiche, which I purchased mine.

Yea, you might even try a different dealership. I've had parts guys absolutely refuse to do it before. In general I've had better experiences at Cadillac dealerships for some reason.

Ok, I can get these for less than $12 shipped to you.. I know that for one set it will cost about $15 depending on if they charge me tax... Does anyone want a set? I need some for myself and so do a few others so I figured I would buy a bunch and send them out from my house for a couple of bucks. They charge $10.50 just to ship two little pieces. The pieces cost about $2.10 depending on tax or ???fee. If we can get enough people to order them, We can probably get them for half that, even with me shipping them to you from my house.

Does anyone know where I can currently find these seals, or have any they are willing to part with?
