Default t-top & window storage

I do not have a rear window storage shelf or straps for my t-tops in my '71. There are hooks on each side under the carpet that I think are for the strap. Does anyone know if my missing parts are available? Any photos might be helpful too. Thanks, Ed

You can find the Y straps on eBay and in the Parts For Sale section. The missing rear window tray is a tougher challenge; to my knowledge, they are not being reproduced.

FWIW: I saw a recent post where an owner found his missing Y strap in the jack compartment.

Hi Ed,
Here's what the tray, hinges, clip, and straps, look like from my 71.
Regards,
Alan

My t-top strap was in with my jack too. Still in the bag.

Some previous owner may have sold it.
