Default T-Tops rebuilt - looking for part

I went through my T-tops, and am missing the small triangular nylon piece that goes in the slot on the rear of the top, and engages the triangular adjuster screw. I've looked through as many catalogues as I can find, and so far can't find the part.

Does anyone know where I can get it?

No, but close. The nylon piece is the same triangular shape, about 1/16" thick, and fits into the mating assembly that the roof lock pin fits into on the T-top itself.

Another one. Is the small ruber seal that is press fitted to the front T top trim available from any Corvette store?

If you are refering to the front pin bushing,yes...the ones hard to get are the pin bushings for the rear striker plate...

Nope

In my car (1976) the T top trim has (had) a small ruber seal. I don´t know were to get it and what it is for... maybe to help the weatherstrip to seal or to blok wind noise .

I was missing those triangle nylon pieces too! I could not find them from any vendor so I just made some from an old Tupperware lid!

Yes, tried them too, no luck. One of the other members said they never found it either, and made their own.

Looks like that's what I will end up doing.

Thanks.
