A Pillar Moldings
Hi all, I am looking for a new pair of a pillar moldings for my 89 vert. I bought a pair from classic industries that were listed as being for vert and ttops but when I received them they were completely different. On rights sight they show the same ones I bought from classic as being for vert also.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Re: A Pillar Moldings
No. The A Pillar parts are different between Verts and HT's. If Sonic1971 doesn't want the ones you have I am interested in them if they are black. What's your price?

Re: A Pillar Moldings
My 89 just looks like factory ttop parts that have been cut down and screwed on the A pillar. Am I missing something?

Re: A Pillar Moldings
I'll assume they are black. Is the foam attached and in good condition?

Re: A Pillar Moldings
Appreciate the contact. Mine are in good shape but I have had trouble finding a foam to work on the back side that seals properly. The foam is my motivation for trying to find an NOS piece or ones that have weathered better than mine. With foam issues, I am not interested in purchasing yours. Sorry.

Re: A Pillar Moldings
No no worries at all. I wish I could find a NOS set or at least the correct style foam. Hawks makes repop ttop pillars with foam but they won’t sell the foam separately unfortunately. Last I spoke to him, Lon at Top Down Solutions was looking in to making replacement foam. Might be worth it to check in with him. Let us know if you Find anything out!

Re: A Pillar Moldings
The funny thing about this all is that Hawks has access to a similar type of foam that they use on their repop a pillars. They won’t sell the foam separately unfortunately. If we could find out who their supplier was, many of us could restore our original ones. But a lot of them will have cracked tabs on the back from people trying to remove them incorrectly.
