i have a set of 98 t tops if you still need a set 225 plus shipping.

before you sell yours, get your locks out so they will still match.. for whatever you end up using. same for the interior plastic pieces so they will still match your interior color.


also, i would have gone off and dropped my insurance company if they didnt cover the ttops. its god damn glass and if you have coverage for glass thats all there is to it.

structure of the vehicle my ***.. they are removabe.. like a convertible top is structure of the vehicle. **** the regular windows are at least permanently mounted..

Just let me know, thanks...

How easy is it to swap locks? My new ones should be here today! It's been a little over 3 weeks since the initial incident, so it's a happy day!

Ok, here's the latest update!

Today we got an email from paypal saying that they ruled in my favor and that they already transferred the money back to my paypal account!

I got my new ones last week from one of our fine LS1tech members and they are doing just fine. No leaks and fit pretty well. For the price he gave me of $90 shipped it couldn't be beat!

As far as changing the locks and selling the broken ones. . . . unfortunately, my girlfriend's stupid-*** mother THREW THEM AWAY!!!!!! I couldn't believe it! She didn't even ask if I wanted or needed them, just out the door with them. So I guess those options are out. Sorry 6litereater, I would've sold them to you, too.

Oh yeah, and I left my friend from KS a negative feedback today also, which makes 9 for the past month. Then I checked his feedback a short while later and found that his account was no longer active! HAH! The question is: Did he close his account and start a new one or did he get booted by ebay?
