Default T-top rubber seal part number?

Hi, does anyone have the part number for the small seal that fits between the two T-tops on the front/rear of the central roof brace? Thanks.

I don't recall the original part numbers, but these were discontinued by GM quite some time ago. I think Tick Performance bought up all the remaining inventory of NOS pieces from GM and sold them until their supply was exhausted. Now, as far as I know, the only option (other than finding used originals) are these reproductions from Hawks Motorsports: https://www.hawksmotorsports.com/199...-reproduction/

I sourced some here in the Marketplace a few weeks back, just (1) 10248550 and 10248551 and it was $45 shipped in/to US. The weight would be about the same as a couple page letter but the tax man has to get his cut in inport/export fees. On eBay I found prices around the $50 average for them. Oddly I have been looking for over a year and asking every part out I could about getting them but finally found new ones here! You'll have to get sealer/glue to put them in too, at least you can source that locally.

Get one of each to someone with a 3d camera,,, may not need it now but using brand new ones should give an image that will make perfect silicon molds to make more..
Could even make them out of soft black neoprene.

Has anyone found a video showing how to attach these? Just received my set from Hawk's but unsure how to attach them. While I had the original factory rubber pieces they seemed to just stay in place but these definitely do not. They finally gave out and shrunk/deteriorated. Also, did you guys have to detach the T-top bar to get the rear end cap in?

It's a simple process. First, use some tape to mark the front and back of the bar. (It's curved differently on each end.) Then unscrew the bar from the roof. The new end pieces attach with super glue, which is how they were affixed from the factory. Then you screw the bar back on after the glue cures, tucking the rubber ends into the roof.
