Default T-top rattle solved!!

Some of you know about my little problem with the stud on the t -top that goes into the windshield frame.(the hole that has the plastic bushing)Well I couldn't find anybody that sells the piece that I needed so I measured and found that a piece of clear pvc tubing that is 3/8IDx1/2od worked like a charm.No more rattle.

It's always a good feeling to outsmart the situation. Can't tell you how many times I've had to improvise.

Ecklers sells that exact piece that you need, and lots of other goodies to empty your wallet.

I looked in Eckler's and others but I couldn't find it.It's a cone shaped piece that fits over the threaded stud.i've got the stud if you can tell me what page in the Eckler's catalog or maybe part#.I'd love to get it right.Right now I'm happy.The car only has 39000 miles so it's still tight and rattle free thats why the t-tops were really bugging me
