T-Tops Factory Code???
Any one know the factory code for t-tops?
I'm finding all kinds of strangeness when working on my tops & starting to wonder if they were installed aftermarket.
I have trim caps on all 4 corners (kinda T shaped) that need replacing,& no one else seems to have, & the seal that the glass sits on is a felt, not rubber as other people tell me theirs are.
I ordered complete seal kit but have nothing to reseal this front & back glass contact area?????? Was leaking like Niagara Falls.
Any Ideas????
Thanks...Larry

it's possible they are the C&C aftermarket t-tops.

Re: T-Tops Factory Code???
As Jay suggested they could be C&C tops,which the factory used on some cars,but were also installed by outside shops.Hurst was another aftermarket supplier to outside shops.The RPO code for the factory T-tops is CC1 but I'm not sure if the C&C tops carried the same RPO.Have you checked your SPID decal to see if T-tops are on there?

Hey Guys
You guys are awesome!!!!!!!!!
When I clicked on the link you posted ***BAM*** there are the caps etc. that everyone says don't exist!
It's kind of embarrassing that I actually work for General Motors here in Canada & they had no idea?????
I tripped over this site a couple of months ago after I bought my GTA back that was showroom condition 10 years ago totally destroyed & thought that maybe someday I might find something usefull here.
I am totally sold on this site!
Thanks guys

Welcome. I had an 87 with the C&C tops so I had that site book marked. The caps and felt you described sounded like what were on my 87.

Do you know if my new OEM seal kit will fit these tops?

i'm pretty sure it won't unfortunately. The C&C tops are actually smaller ( front to back ) than the factory tops are.

Once again you know your stuff.
I laid them out on top & the new T-top & end seals are longer than mine.
I Guess I have a set of seals for sale
Thanks again...Larry
