Pop up T-Tops?

I have never seen that. Definitely not a factory option so far as I know. For a minute there, I thought you were going to ask about the t-tops flipping vertical like on Knight Rider. LOL.

They are not factory. It is a rare version of the C&C aftermarket t-top. There are two members of my f-body club that have them on their car.

Even if you were able to find them (did I mention they are rare) it will not fit or retrofit onto a factory t-top equipped car.

Can they be retrofitted to fit a car that has standard C&C tops?

Re: Pop up T-Tops?
 
I would imagine they would fit the same opening as was cut for the aftermarket C&C t-tops. Have I mentioned they are rare? I meant VERY rare.

I saw some on eBay a few years ago. Dude didn't know what he had, but was still asking stupid prices and even crazier amounts of money for shipping.

I had a set that one was broken during shipping (very very sad). I have an 88 TA with C&C t-tops. I was missing the inside bracket, though, and the one that survived the trip had a super loose fit.

That is SWEEEEET

That's a VERY COOL option - wish the factory had provided those.

They leaked anyway but this would have allowed you to use them in the winter too.

Re: Pop up T-Tops?
 
There were two styles of C&C C&C t-tops. The standard version is similar to the factory version with a locking handle that rotates to pivot rods to engage into holes at the front and rear.

The second (much rarer) version has the ability to open up at the rear, similar to opening a sunroof. Is that the style you're referring to? I know of two local club members that had this style. I've never seen a car with this style at the Pick-a-Part yards. I do occasionally see the standard style at the yards.
