Default T-top bags

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone knows where I could purchase a pair of t-top bags? If I don't have the t-top bags would it cause damage to t-tops if I just put them in the trunk as they are? I wouldn't want the glass to scratch or something. The dealership guy said they shouldn't damage because the weather stripping on the t-tops should cushion it in the trunk. Just thought I'd ask, thanks.



I am in the middle of purchasing a red 98 Trans Am auto, it has 73,000 miles (about 116,800 km's) with t-tops (obviously), although it doesn't have the ram-air hood. I'd like to buy that hood some day. I'm buying it for $12,900, it's my first f-body. I'm from Canada and f-bodies seem to be more money here than in the USA. Here $12,900 is a good price... they're normally like $16k to $18k. I should get it sometime this week or next week, can't wait!

These are not 3rd Gens, so no T-top bags needed. There is a holder in the trunk where you insert the T-tops and you're good to go.

I put mine in the holsters in the trunk all the time and they dont get scratched, even when I stomp on the gas. Just make sure you lock em in.

No, they'll be fine back there. The holders are specifically designed to hold them.
