Default T-top peice
Not really sure what it's called... It's a little peice of rubber that is in the outer edges of the center of the t tops. Both of mine have been messed up since I bought the car and everytime I notice them it really bothers me... Does anyone know where I could find these?? I took a pic of what I'm talking about.

Thanks.

Your previous owner probably took it off because it was an eyesoar... I'm thinking about doing that with mine because it looks stupid... but I would really just like to get it replaced.. There is one on the front and back.

I'd like to even know what this piece is called... I can't find anything online anywhere about it...

It's starting to bug me.

Mine doesn't have it either...never noticed it.
Now that I see it, I'm glad it doesn't.

Wow... I guess it's not a big deal at all... If they were in good shape I think it would look better with them.. My friend has a 97 z28 and they are on his... they're all messed up like mine though..

Someone on here has to have them and agree with me? maybe I'm just paying to much attention to little details..

Mine are jacked up too but aren't they there to keep water out of your car?? For those who don't have them; does water seep through the t tops at all? That would be my only concern about not having them.

No, your car won't leak if you don't have them. They're purely cosmetic.

I'm ripping mine off then. Everytime I wash the car I just stare at it in disgust. Good to know I can rip it off and be done with it.

try using a gel like tire shine...not permanent but definitely cleans it up nice for the time being
