Did t-top bags come with the T/A in '98?? If so, are these hard to come by??
Thanks.

 

I got my 02 new and they didnt have one, the T Top shades came in plastic bags, but the t tops wont fit into the holders with bags on them...

 

I don't think I have any of that.

 

Beginning in '98 the t-tops had plastic holders in the hatch well area. There were no t-top bags available.

 

It was started long before 98 my 94 firebird had T top holders in the well area too.....

 

My 98 came with the leather holder. I have never found it all that usefull since I always leave my tops in the rear compartment.

 

So were the plastic or leather holders easily removed and or lost???
I will have to double check when I get a chance, but car is put away for winter and a pain to get at, but I'm pretty sure I don't have anything back there right now for the tops.

 

I have a nice thick black one with GM imprinted on the outside...got it at the wreckers...came from an 80's camaro.

 

That describes the leather case that I have. Maybe the orginal owner of my 98 just carried it over from an older car.

And to answer the OP's newest question. The plastic bags referred to would have been standard plastic that covers new parts that are not not shrink wrapped. The leather holder is a designed for storing the tops outside of the vehicle. This item would be very easy to lose. I only use mine to store the roof inserts which i never use.

 

my sons 94 z28 has the holders in the back the 88 rs had the gm imprinted leather bag.

 

exactly... ive got some that came with a corvette project car.. but the plastic holders work great.

 

it's all 4th gen

the holder area was to replace the crappo vinyl bags used in the 3rd gen
