to the body. This is the area above your head in what I will call the roll bar.

Are you thinking about the putty like material between the top part of the birdcage from the back to the front and the chrome trim piece your t-tops rest on?

Thats 3-M strip-caulk.

No. It's at the joint were the chrome part joints the body. It would be at the back edge of the t-top. Thanks glassman74

Alan,
The area is were the chrome "T" shape metal part that the T-tops rest
on meet the fiberglass of the body straight up above the seat backs.
Hope this helps.

Thanks glassman74
