Look at your Tops, if they have "C&C" on them then you need the C&C style seals... I THink Hawks thirdgen parts has the seals but I am not sure...

SoftSeal or a GM seal will NOT work as the T-tops on your car are actually an aftermarket conversion.

I had C & C tops in my old 84 but they did not have the C & C logo. So, dont just go on that.

Those are definitely C&C T-tops. The plastic trim pieces are a match. There are places advertising new seals, but I'm not sure of their availability.

Cars & Concepts was a company located West of Detroit Between Novi and US-23 off of I-96. C&C did many conversions for Ford & GM, they actually made the 1988 Banchee Prototype for Pontiac, and I believe they did the Olds Cutlass Verts for GM in the 90's, I belive they also did the Convertible conversions for Ford on the 80's Mustang. IIRC they did some Pontiac Fiero Convertibles too... In short they were not a small company and they were very similar to ASC in function.

Interestingly C&C also made T-tops for several other models:
Firebird & Camaro - 1973 - 1981, 82+
Monte Carlo, Cutlas, Regal, Grand Prix 78 - 83
Mustang & Capri 79 - 93
Dodge Aspen, Plymouth Volare 77 - 80
Dodge Mirada, Chrysler Cordoba 80 - 83

My info stops at 1983

ALSO they made a Notchback hatch for our cars way before the 88 GTA offered it.

Re: where to find the right t-top weatherstrips?
Yes, you are correct, I was a C&C dealer for years and did T-tops, they are C&C units, I know C&C had been bought out and have not done T-Tops for many years, I remember that their seals were much cheaper than GM's as we serviced both. Finding the seals now, not sure...good luck...also they did the aerocoupe monte carlos as well....Rob
