T-Top Bar Question

Replacing the ttop bar on my 91 Z28 and was wondering if there is a front and back side to the ttop bar or can it be installed any way. It looks the same to me, but wanted to get confirmation. Also, what year ttop bars can be used on a 91 or are they all the same? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Re: T-Top Bar Question

there are 2 screws on the ends, and then 3 screws on each side by where the glass would over lay. there are also 2 sticky pads on the underside (at least there were on mine) and yes there is a front and a back, the T bar wont sit correctly unless its on the right way. so if it doesnt fit, just flip it and see. i hopefully am going to be puttin on my new one tomorrow.

Question about those "sticky pad" seals under the center bar...

What do I do if I need to replace these? Took them off to make sure everything was clean underneath and protected (coating of Rust Bullet), and now I need to replace them.

Re: T-Top Bar Question

i used 3M body mount tape. it is REALLY sticky, its double sided, i got one side on, took me about 5 mins to get the other side off cause it was on so good. i highly recomend it!!! here are some pics.

The 3M tape has like a red cover on it, if you are looking for it in a store.

sorry i dont have any of the back side...

Re: T-Top Bar Question

I'll see what I can find... I hope you do some major rust killing on that roof or you're still going to have water leakage. Can't believe mine looks like new compared to that, and mine sat through a couple of winters doing nothing.

I'll say one thing though, at least you got the screws in the ends of the center bar out... I need to drill mine out still .
