Default 78 T Top question

I just noticed that there is a small **** on each of my T tops.. They both seem to be loose and just hanging there.. Don't seem to do anything but I'm sure they are there for a reason.. Can someone tell me what they are for ? Thanks in advance..

Do you have factory glass tops? If so, I assume your referring to the small black cap (similar to a valve stem cap), on the underside of the outer rear corners of the top. They are not *****, but instead just trim pieces. There are studs under them, that were used to assemble the tops.

If you remove the caps, DON'T play with the nuts under them, as you may crack your glass top!
