T-top inserts ??

Regarding t-top equipped cars, did they all come with these inserts? I have never seen these before.

Thanks

it's like a cloth board the same color as your head liner that fits in the slot to cover your t-tops, its good for HOT summer months.

They were a small option if I'm not mistaken. My '86 never had any, and I haven't seen a pair in person yet. I think they'd be neat to have around...... if I hadda t-top car again Ah well, the price of a power and tranny upgrade I guess

I have the billing invoice for my car. How would I know if they came with the car or not? What's the RPO on them?

The RPO is DE4. Sunshield, Removable Hatch Roof. Have you checked out the RPO Decoder from the Home page? The front windshield even had an optional sunshield, actually 2, one was with pockets, one had extensions. I only have the roof sunshield. Got all this from the Decoder. When I go home today I'll verify the RPO from my build sheet and window sticker......


Yup.....Just checked the sticker...DE4 is correct. 12:15 PM 10/16

If you want to see the window sticker let me know. I'll e-mail it to you. The image is to large for this board. I scanned it, its now in bmp format and I have no idea how to put into jpg and make it smaller.
