refurbish/restore T Tops 1983 Z28

I searched for any info on this and didn't find anything, I apologize if this has already been discussed.

my T Tops are rattling quite a bit and I'm curious if there are kits or a parts list for refurbishing/restoring T Tops. the glass is still in great shape along with the trim, but the rubber seals are dry and cracked and while driving the T Tops rattle. if I reach a hand up and lightly press on the T Top trim near the back it silences the rattle. I'm guessing it's interior parts and trim that have loosened over the years.

is this just a simple tightening of screws, or tearing down and rebuilding the T Tops with new parts?

I would appreciate some guidance on solutions and and suggestions for websites for parts needed if any.

thank you,
