Are these C&C T-tops?
The T-top dimensions are different from published specs I have seen...but the weatherstripping and the molding looks like C&C...

The molding in the middle is damaged...apparently someone tried to break into the car (previous owner)...
TIA for the help...

There is no C&C mark on the glass (I read that there should be)...and the t-top dimensions are a bit smaller than here:

The weatherstripping appears to be the C&C type...including the red spaghetti string felt deal...

The plastic trim/weather stripping look just like mine.Only diff is your center bar.glass secures in the groove there.On my 84Z the glass lifts like a vent window.there is also a C&C logo on the outside corner of the glass..All the C&C t-tops that ive seen are slightly shorter than G.M t-tops.The windshield header is wider(about 4in versus G.Ms about 2in).I believe this is because C&C cars start off as hardtops.When the roof is trim the header is left wider so the visors wont have to be replaced(too big).G.M t-top visors are half as wide as C&C/hardtop versions.If theyre locking.C&C t-tops use a diff key for the locks,G.Ms use the door key i believe....

Sound like your setup is a bit cooler...but tougher to find replacement t-tops for...

ive had an 83 z28 C&C car and a factory 84 z28 t tops car and i have to say that the factory stuff is better quality, but the 84 leaked and the 83 didnt, but i took care of the 84 leaks by sealing all around between the stripping and the painted metal roof of the car, used clear sealant, the C&C latching mechanism was just big a bulky and clunky and had problems

You mean remove the trim completely? or just remove it and put the grommets behind? I like that idea...
