T Top weatherstrip

Does anyone make a replacement for the thin strip of rubber that covers the side windows on a t top car?

I seen on classic ind's website that it comes as parts of a kit. The entire kit is $250 I just really need those thin strips for each side.

Yep, but they wont seperate the kit.

I ended up ordering the full kit. I'll just change out all the weatherstrip to be safe. Only problem is that the kit is on backorder.

Re: T Top weatherstrip

Do a search guys. 1A Auto sells the piece your looking for. There have been many threads about this and they even have a link to their parts page.

Re: T Top weatherstrip

I did a search and came up with nothing.

I didnt know 1a Auto had them. I checked out thier site and they are out of stock...on backorder.

I also checked the OER link, I dont see that part listed seperately from the whole kit.

Oh well, I got them on order from Classis Ind.

Re: T Top weatherstrip

I just got that kit on friday and installed it yesterday. It went on easily and looks great! I too only needed the T Top weatherstrip, but ended up just buying the whole thing. It was on backorder when I was originally looking at it, and we got on the waiting list. When I got the call that it was in I was told I was the only one that got one, so I was excited. I can take a picture of it when I get home if you would like.

Re: T Top weatherstrip

Yup ordered the whole kit. I have an extra set that goes around the top of the car now because I had already had them.

They go on pretty easily. We put some weatherstrip sealant between the drip guard and the top, but otherwise the instructions that come with are easy to follow. Also, remember that the window sealing rubber angles up. At first I put them in with the angles going down, and I was scratching my head to why it didn't line up correctly.

I'll take a picture of them on the car tomorrow, it was raining hard today so I couldn't get out to get a picture.
