Vertical T-Top Storage?

Hi everyone.
I just came across this image via Google. I've never seen a car that got these storage slots before. Then again, I've never looked for it. But still.

Anybody has any information about this? Also, pictures would be really appreciated.


Thanks, guys.

Ah, so it's a 4th gen thing?
Does it lock on both sides or is there some kind of slot for the other end?

Re: Vertical T-Top Storage?

There is a slot on both sides of the trunk well. The top slides down and the pins lock into holes. The top end just hangs out in mid air. A good idea from GM for a change. A few people have talked about doing the same thing for 3rd gens, don't know if it has been done yet or not though. For some reason, the PO of my 97 Formula removed them from the car, otherwise I'd get some pics for you. When I take them off I just stick them down in the well, as a 3rd gen style bag on top of the tank probably wouldn't work. 4th gen t-tops are wider.

Re: Vertical T-Top Storage?

I have a 4th gen car with t-tops. While the t-top holders is indeed a great idea, I actually prefer the t-top bag setup in my 3rd gen, just because I can still use that area for storage or a speaker system while the t-tops are off.
