Default t-topless car

ok when the t tops are out there is bare metal (well painted) showing if you are looking down on the roof. for instance, my car is silver, so when the t tops are out there is silver showing. on a red car, red would be showing, and on a white car, white would be showing. i was just asking if there is anything you guys have seen that might cover the painted roof that is shown when the t tops are out.

I am guessing he is talking about the outside edge that the tops sit on, not covering up the whole opening. And yes there have been people that have painted that area, but like you said idk how much that would do for the looks, I personally don't think it looks all that bad with the tops off though. I love my t-top car no matter how it looks with them off.

I'm lost on this one too. It doesn't seem like he's asking about painting either.

I've thought of that too. Most likely just painting it would be the only way to cover it up. But i think it still looks good with the tops out.

Are you asking if there is like something that you can stick in those opening and make it look all flush. Like straight up from the headliner and then over to the bar roof. That way there is still the opening but not that uneven space? If so i got nothing but i'm just trying to see if i understand what you are asking for.

I see. My car is black as well.

Maybe you could find a strip of black vinyl to lay over the top. Sort of like parking stickers for your windshield - just put it on with static cling and take it off whenever.
