T-Top Part Question
I'm missing a bolt on one of the latches of my left t-top. I posted a pic of another one to show what I'm talking about. Is the link below (part 600-208...2nd part down on the list) what I'm looking for? Just want to make sure before I get some bolts and they're the wrong ones. I'm just going to replace all of them since they don't have the rubber stopper on the ends. Thanks.

Fly Viper,
From your profile, it appears that you own a 1971 model. If this is true, the illustrated picture of the roof top latch bolt is incorrect for your year. The picture illustrates the service unit that was used on 1973 and later cars. It uses a larger hexagonal head with a much larger rubber cushion.
Your original production bolt has a much smaller hexagonal head and uses a smaller rubber insert that is much thinner in thickness. Check around and make sure that the vendor understands that your looking for the original style roof top latch bolt used on the "early sharks".

I'm going to kind of piggyback on my own thread...has anyone ever used the protect-a-top? (Protect-a-top
I just need something to cover the car when it's parked and I don't like the idea of that other vinyl top that requires velcro.
