Re: t-tops

i read somewhere that some t tops were factory and some they sent off.. i found this on e bay while looking for the seals for my t tops.......

NOTE:Some 82-92 Camaros and Firebirds were converted to t-top cars after they left the factory by a company called Cars and Concepts (C&C). These aftermarket t-tops are not interchangeable with the stock ones and require different weatherstripping. To determine which top style you have, remove one of the tops and measure the side the tucks into the center support section of the roof. Factory, or Fisher, tops will be 30 1/4" while the C&C tops will only be 28" long. 1A Auto does NOT stock or carry the replacement C&C weatherstripping. ......

i hope this helps

C&C T-tops should also be etched on the glass. And if the rear hatch has never been replaced there should be a C&C sticker stating when and where it was modified on the underside of the rear hatch glass near the VIN Sticker.
