Adding T-tops to a firebird
Hi, I just brought an 1991 Fire bird, It doesn't have t-tops, but we want to make it have t-tops, What all parts will i need in order to be able to make my Fire bird a t-top Fire bird.
We wanted a T-top already installed onto the car, But we really fall in love with the one we have brought, So we took it and now wanting to put in a t-top system for the spring and the summer, How would we go about doing that.
I know i need to get the T-tops glass, Seals, and the headliner, Is that it or do i need more, Because we will be cutting the roof off making it into the t-tops system.
Well any help would be really great. Is there an website where i can find all of this that i need to add so there will be no leaks in the roof after making the t-tops.
Thanks!

Re: Adding T-tops to a firebird
yep,definately heard&seen horror stories about t-tops.
So if you still want to do the swap I would recomend doing a search and taking notes on the conversion.

Re: Adding T-tops to a firebird
See, i was thinking about all of that, the leaking and the wind we have a 1997 firebird and it has t-tops and we have had problems with the leaking due to all of the snow that we get and what not, Also learned that Camaros/Firebirds are not so great on snow lol.
I might just not go with the T-tops cause after reading and going through all of the leaking and stuff, But gotta admit the T-tops do make a firebird and camaro look pretty damn nice.
----------
Now, i love how they did the dash on that car. I bet that took some time to do.
See i am going to repaint the one i have, It's an dirty ugly white, I think Mid night Blue would look really beautiful on my 1991 Firebird.

I totally agree with you, there are alot of issues due to the T-tops. You may have helped me make up my mind on not doing that.
