HELP!!! Canīt find those T-Top trim parts for my 76...
Hi everyone
Iīm unable to find a source for buying those T-Top trim parts like the shiny mouldings around the T-Tops.
Further more Iīd need the inner molding for the weatherstrip which is fixed at the angled windshield frame beam.
Other parts that Iīm unable to find are
-hood spring
-the 4 chrome T-Top fastening parts mounted on the centerbeam (roof) for my coupe
-Plastic rivets for the A-arm splash shields (I already tried different automotive suppliers - nothing yet)
I already tried Ecklers, Mid America, Corvette America,......
Thanks for any input

As far as I can tell no one makes them. I repaired a t-top for a friend of mine and bought a "piece of junk" t-top at a swap meet last year just to get decent trim. The hardest part was removing the trim from the crap t-top without damaging the trim.

With all those strike-outs, you might want to contact someone that carries used parts. I know Paragon does. Not sure about Dr Rebuild.

Contemporary Corvette or other Corvette used parts dealers might have what you need. I can't remember how to spell this guy name Grualla enterprizes i think. There is another place called Sunshine Corvette's in Florida. Thats all I can think of at the moment.

Wow! Thanks for your help guys!
Sorry for answering so late but I had no internet acces for the last days.
Iīll check out again which parts are worth to use and which are crap.
I just thought Iīd ask before restoring them
Regards Markus

The hood spring you are refering to? The base hood latches? If so, I do have an extra drivers side base latch. If that is what you are looking for, e-mail me and you can have it for $10.00 + shipping.tlchydraulics@cs.com
