Default T tops

On my 82 the plastic on the t top is separating. There are some rubber pegs that glue to them as far as I know. Does anyone know where I could get new ones or even take those pegs off? Or if anyone else has fixed a simar problem let me know how you fixed it. Thanks

The popular name is "velcro fastener". Velcro fasteners were used in several places on interior panels. Some of the aftermarket providers carry replacements.

I found some online. They're really cheap but how do I make them stay on the glass?

Do you have a picture of what you are looking for, I'm a bit confused. Glass tops didn't use liners..

You have the frame separated from the glass.... That's not good.

The frame is glued to the glass... You'll need to go to a glass company and see if they have some sort of epoxy to glue this back with...

I've never seen one separated like this before without breaking.

A glass shop should be able to reset the glass using a urethane sealer/adhesive. That's what they use to keep windshiled in anyway, albiet a new vehicle would have a painted-on strip around the glass. But that stuff is really some adhesive crap. Should hold it quite well. The trick will be to get it aligned properly, but I'm sure the can do it.

Glass tops do not have interior trim panels.
