where to find the right t-top weatherstrips?
hi,
I have a problem in my car and with my t-top's.
I like to buy a new weatherstrips to my car, but here in Finland they don't understand what are the right weatherstrips into my car.
Could someboby help me!
I haven't vin code to my car, because this option code blanket isn't in the right place in the glovebox. (Sorry my english!)
What is this t-top model? Were could I finf the right weatherstrips to the body and sunroof?
My car year model is 1987 (H).
Here is one picture: http://www.nic.fi/~ilku/gta5.html

Thank you,
Ilku

Re: where to find the right t-top weatherstrips?
Look at your Tops, if they have "C&C" on them then you need the C&C style seals... I THink Hawks thirdgen parts has the seals but I am not sure...
SoftSeal or a GM seal will NOT work as the T-tops on your car are actually an aftermarket conversion.

Re: where to find the right t-top weatherstrips?
Cars & Concepts was a company located West of Detroit Between Novi and US-23 off of I-96. C&C did many conversions for Ford & GM, they actually made the 1988 Banchee Prototype for Pontiac, and I believe they did the Olds Cutlass Verts for GM in the 90's, I belive they also did the Convertible conversions for Ford on the 80's Mustang. IIRC they did some Pontiac Fiero Convertibles too... In short they were not a small company and they were very similar to ASC in function.
Interestingly C&C also made T-tops for several other models:
Firebird & Camaro - 1973 - 1981, 82+
Monte Carlo, Cutlas, Regal, Grand Prix 78 - 83
Mustang & Capri 79 - 93
Dodge Aspen, Plymouth Volare 77 - 80
Dodge Mirada, Chrysler Cordoba 80 - 83
My info stops at 1983
ALSO they made a Notchback hatch for our cars way before the 88 GTA offered it.

Re: where to find the right t-top weatherstrips?
Yes, you are correct, I was a C&C dealer for years and did T-tops, they are C&C units, I know C&C had been bought out and have not done T-Tops for many years, I remember that their seals were much cheaper than GM's as we serviced both. Finding the seals now, not sure...good luck...also they did the aerocoupe monte carlos as well....Rob
