Default 69 removable hard top trim parts?

I need some parts for my 69's removable hard top, such as;
  1. Rear window trim
  2. passenger side rear chrome "spear"
  3. chrome pin (I need one) that locates the top to the car's rear deck

Does anyone know anywhere I could get these pieces?


Thanks, Eric

Thanks,

They have the latch pins and the weatherstripping.

Anyone have any ideas on the rear window trim?

Thanks again, Eric.

Inside plastic trim or outside stainless trim? Interior plastic is available through most of the aftermarket providers. I'm not certain the exterior stainless is being reproduced. You might want to check ebay or look for a swap meet.

The headliner is available from most of the major vendors. Ebay or Glassworks are the best sources for exterior stainless pieces although the latch pins and spears are carried by most vendors. I have searched and never found the interior plastic trim piece that goes under the rear window. If someone knows a source, I would like to know.

Most important to me is the exterior stainless trim

I found stainless corner tips on e bay, and I have seen the posts you are looking for there, too. The stainless window trim is going to be very pricey, I think Corvette America has them. Good luck!!

Hi Eric, as most said, the exterior stainless are not reproduced anywhere......best bet is Ebay (though ebay blows), Carlisle, or Glassworks in PA. You may just want to buy a rag hardtop, cannibalize the trim and sell the rest............good luck, john

Bair's sells these items in stainless steel. I had my original pieces chrome plated about 5 years ago and they've started to corrode again. I'm going to buy Bair's stainless steel versions. You can see them in his on-line catalog, although it'll take a while to page through to find them.
