T-Top stripping be very careful when removing the old that you don't break off the little plastic trees cause you can't get them out off the tops

Default Hi mpsjm

I replaced mine last year . I used 3M weather strip adhesive remover and it worked great ,also didn't hurt the paint. When I put my new strips on I used 3M weather strip adhesive, also worked great. You can get the 3M weather strip adhesive in clear , black or yellow from any auto parts stores. Hope this helps.
