73 T-Top question
Is there supposed to be a trim piece on the back side of the car where the T-Tops fit? Each side of the door frame near the top of the window has a threaded hole about 1/4 inch in diameter visible when the tops are removed. it appears as though some sort of trim piece belongs there but I have no idea how to go about identifying it. Perhaps someone has a picture of that area with the tops removed.

Can you share a picture of the area you're talking about?
You can find all these parts for sale in the C3 Parts section
Just post a listing of what you need. These T top parts are pretty common so it won't break the bank.

Thanks again, I was able to find a pair of replacement plates and studs for $40 which is very reasonable. I have owned mine for a week, and as I spend time with it in the garage I am finding many little things that could have been done better when a prior owner replaced the interior and had it painted. Fortunately most can be corrected, or at least improved with a little knowledge and patience. This forum provides the knowledge so let the journey begin.
