Plastic Trim on T-Top?
Plastic Trim on T-Top?
The trim peice (the part that over hangs the window) on one of my t-tops is cracked and broken. Is there any way to fix this, is it something i can take off and replace, or do i just need to get a new top? Thanks for any help.

hey guys, had to bring back an oldie in hopes it can help me. i want to replace the black plastic piece that comes right after the glass on the exterior of the t-top, above the seal. i can't tell from the diagram which # it is. 4,3, 2? part #? the one i have now is faded/oxidized right where the glass ends and the plastic piece begins. or should i just try and paint the piece a gloss black?

I think that is actually aluminum or some sort of alloy, definatly not plastic, anyway, I jsut got myself some SEM Trim paint that was the original GM semigloss, and masked mine off...
they look like new

I don't believe (but not 100% positive) that piece is available seperate from the glass (#1).
Do as okfoz did or, you can get Trim Black paint made by Duplicolor. Should be availabe at most any major part store chains.

THe only reason I would try the SEM is I can get it to coat in one shot, and it looks awesome, had it on my car since '98 and it still looks great, but I only have 10,000 Miles on it since then... A little pricey, but I learned that with pray paint, I get what I pay for or I pay for what I got.
