The rubber trim around the t-top, not the outer sweep but the rubber that actually sits in the body channels when inserted, needs replacing. I am not sure what to look for. All I know is we had a hot day and it was outside under the sun at my mechanics place and when I took the tops off the glue had melted and made an awful mess. I am not sure the best way to replace them (Cut each piece separately, 1 full piece with relief cuts or?) or if I should just use normal auto body trim and glue?

Any help would be appreciated Thanks!

 

Start here. I don't know your year/make

Sorry, that's a good point! 1984 Camaro z28 HO

 

I don't need the outer sweeps. I need the rubber going around the actual T-Top Panel.

 

As you can see the glue melting made an awful mess.

 

Yes, try 1Aauto. they have them all

 

That looks like door edge guard molding around the glass. I never seen that before in my life

 

what is usually around the glass? Nothing?

 

On the 85 and up.....nothing

 

Right, nothing, except on the acrylic/lexan t-tops. Great for chipping edges and burning your hands while handling them. IMO pretty dumb that they didn't put anything on there since all the 1979-82 Corvettes with glass t-tops had rubber on the edges, and 1993-02 F-Bodies have them. Guess they just decided to cheap out on our third gens.

IIRC, they *might* have put something like that on the 1982-83s though.

 

If they did put something on the 82-84, and ya cant find it, door edge molding might work. you can get 18 foot rolls of it at the parts store for 12 bucks

 

I wish there was a way I found out if it actually had it or if it was just something people added on. It's a 1984 so I am not sure, I probably wouldn't use an adhesive after seeing what happened when in the heat.

 

Message 82tarecaro. He may be able to help you. He has an 82 Recaro TA, same tops as an 84. His is mint original with 8k miles.

 

Apparently their was 2 designs used in 82-85(I've never seen a set either)Learn something everyday.
