What is this called?

Can someone tell me what this piece is called, where I can buy it & how much are they? It is the piece that is hooked to the edge of the t top that hangs over. It's that wavy piece in the picture, lol. Thanks!

Didn't they change those over to plastic in later years? I've been wanting to change the ones on my '82 TA, but I thought I read somewhere you can only get plastic ones now. Mine are like a soft flexable rubberlike material. Anyone clarify this??

I have the new t-top seal kit and it comes with those pieces in hard plastic.Seems to be a far better piece than the original,looks alot better also.Much cleaner and neater.

What did you pay for the whole kit? I didn't realize you could get a t top seal kit. I do need most all new seals anyway.

I think I got it through classic,it was pricey at around $300 but in the long run worth it.Make sure you read the stickies and tech articles on t-top seal installation and make sure to use plenty of sealer around the tbar corners or it will leak.
