Try Hawks, I'm sure Bruce can help you out and it will be way cheaper than GM even with shipping. Other option is e-bay there is always some t-tops on there and they go failry cheap ($75 - $150 per set sometimes).

You think that's bad, there is a junkyard near where I live that wants $750 per piece regardless of condition.

Actually, I checked today at work. Yes, they are expensive, but they can be had for $735.00 each. The pair I looked up are the locking style. They fit 89-92 for sure, not sure about previous years.

GM part #'s 12343250 and 12343251.

There aren't any junkyards by where you live? I got a replacement one for $45 over here. If you can't find one there, ask one of use to get one for you and ship....don't pay a GM price for it.

most junkyards are pretty far from my home at least 4 hours away but its better then paying to much for GM t-tops so i guess ill just have to get ready for a long drive or get'em from ebay, but if push comes to shove ill try gettin'em from somebody on this board. thx for the suggestion

I can get you a brand new pair for about $400. Kinda pricey but these are brand new from GM.

yeah i get the bag too, maybe ill turn around and sell it all individually for like 1000% profit
no but i actually just wanted a spare set just incase, it leaks enough as it is, i dont want to find out what its like not having one at all :P

no seriously though if you want a set just go ebay, $200 gets you a nice set for sure, they dont go much past that, most are like $100

yeah ups around here is scary, all my packages look like they 'accidently' got mistaken for a soccer ball at some point
fedex on the other hand always takes care of my stuff

its funny you say that because i work at a warehouse, and it seems the exact opposit of that, the ups is the stuff that always looks good and the fed ex box's are always destroyed.
