everything on my car is almost mint except for my t-tops, is there anything i can do to make my t-tops look better.

 

What is wrong with the t-tops? Are the the lexan or glass ones?

 

they are lexan and they're scratched beyond belief. id like glass ones, but they dont fit.

 

If you have GM lexan t-tops then GM glass t-tops from 84-92 will fit. They recalled a lot of the lexan tops and replaced them with glass ones.

 

So long as they arent scratched beyond belief or cracking, a good polishing job will take out all the oxidation and make them look much better..and who says glass tops won't fit your car?

 

my buddy had a 91 camaro and i tried to put his glass ones on and it didnt fit

 

My guess is the 91 Camaro had C&C t-tops. GM t-tops will fit.

 

any idea where i could get some glass ones that are in good condition?

 

If you cant find some glass ones or dont want to shell out the $$ for them you could always try improving the ones you have. you could wet sand them until the scratches are mostly gone or a lot less noticeable and polish them. A search will pull up a few good threads. heres one i had saved.

There are several conditioning and sand paper kits on the market but you will be sanding a long time if the cracks are deep.

If you sand and then paint them with acrylic you'll not be able to view through them unless you have luck and find some smoke acrylic tinted clear paint.

I've been looking and have not found this type of paint yet, let me know
if you do.

 

I took some 2000 grit sand paper and wet sanded all the oxidation off and hit them with my PC and some 3M plastic polish and they look 100x better than before. All the little tiny cracks are still there but they're in the middle of the lexan and you can't feel them from either side and the plastic is really smooth now. There's some scratching from the 2000 grit paper that I haven't fixed since I havn't found any higher grit paper yet but it'll work until I can get some glass tops.

 

Above 2000, just use rubbing compound and glaze/polish... Not sure about using it on plastic, though...

 

Hey while i was at the yard in stafford i swore i saw some good sets of glass and lexan t-tops at the yard. I do remember specific on a 91 bird some lexan ones that looked good. If you want the address i can give it to you or if you want to meet up there sometime i can give ya a hand. Let me know here or PM.

yeah thanks for all the suggestions, but i took off my t-top earlier today to check something out and i didnt snap it back on all the way. On the way out of my neighborhood it jostled loose and when i hit about 35mph it flew off, hit a guard rail, and cracked. so always make sure your t-tops are secured and locked. yeah steve ill send you a pm about those t-tops you were talking about
