T-Top Seal Question
My question pertains not the long weatherstrip that you attach to the body of the vehicle, or to the rubber weatherstrip that you slide into the channel on the underside of the t-top itself, but to the outermost "seal" that is part metal, part rubber, the metal portion of which rests on the top-side of the t-top. Does this description make any sense? lol
Anyway, what holds that piece to the t-top? So far, I have only found one small screw.

ive not personally taken the time to fix mine yet but Im pretty sure the rubber is glued on, and the metal peice might have screws but its also likely glued on
what are you planning to replace it with?

Hawk's seems to carry the pieces new.
Can't wait to get these spare glass tops on and get rid of my squeaky, spidercracked Lexan ones!

The t top side metal plates have three or four screws in them, the part that holds the seal.
I did not glue them down, and it is not reccomended that you glue it (the new seals/stripping). Why? you need to find out were they need to rest to seal against the body stripping. Yes you will be moving them a little at a time for a while finding out. Trust me...
