T-Top Glass edge moulding

Hi. The top hard moulding on the edge of the T-Top glass is broken on both sides of the car. Can these be replaced? What are they called?

Thanks.

Re: T-Top Glass edge moulding

Anything is possible,but I would invest in another set of tops.Checkout the exterior parts for sale and see who is selling a set or breaking up a car for parts.Their not that expensive.

Re: T-Top Glass edge moulding

Found mine on eBay, around $60 w/shipping IIRC...here's one I found on the first page of 300 results for "92 camaro t-top". Note that there are two different materials that they make them out of: rubber, and hard plastic. Not sure which is correct for which years/models.

Re: T-Top Glass edge moulding

Pretty sure the larger, metal strip cannot be removed/serviced...the drip edges are notorious for rotting out and breaking off in chunks though (like mine).

Some of the rubber pieces can get really hard and brittle (that was the case with my window sweeps), so I am guessing you're talking about the piece at the very edge.

As suggested, posting pics helps tremendously.


Its the wide moulding on the top edge. I don't think it is metal because on the passenger side there is a chunk broken off the end. If it cannot be fixed, where would be a good place to look for new t tops?

Re: T-Top Glass edge moulding

It 100% for sure is NOT metal. Mine too is broken on the passenger side. I bought another set of tops. The pins or tops do not line up.... So what I did is took the whole t-top apart. This strip is plastic and seems to be held in by the sealant/automotive caulk. I have a heat gun but have not tried to remove it yet. Another top would be better but they are some variation in t-top (the GM ones)
