Vette(s): 1980 Black L48 T-Tops
Does anyone know where to locate the rear deck T-Top mount for a 1980?  I have tried several of the major vendors and couldn't find one.  I tried Alex's site to request a used parts search but it says that function is not working on the website.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Dennis

Vette(s): 1980 Red T-Top with 42000 miles. No modifications and will probably stay that way.

Hi Dennis. . .

I have been searching for almost 8 months now for a T-Top carrier for my 1980 and I haven't had any success. My car has the holes and the plastic inserts in place. . .sure would be nice to have one! I'll be watching with interest whatr assistance this good bunch of gals and guys can up with. I have tried several of the used places that specialize in Vettes and they haven'y come up with anything.

Take care and be safe. . .

Doug

Hi Dennis. . .

This is the reply I received back from Corvette Sales. . .

 

Sorry Doug, This has not been available for years. You will need to try
looking for one at a car show, or on eBay.

Thanks for the e-mail,
Chuck

Good morning. . .
Do you sell T-Top Carriers that attached to the rear deck? My 1980 has
factory/dealer pre-drilled holes complete with plastic hardware
installed but the carrier has long since be lost/stolen/discarded! I
know of several other Vette owners looking for the same thing. . .sure
hope you can help.
Thanks and take care. . .

Doug;

Thanks.  I was afraid this was the answer.  I have tried the dealerships hoping they had one laying around but to no avail. 

Hopefully, as the 80's become the affordable entry level C3, some of the parts houses will begin making them.  I have never even seen one and would like to see a picture just to see what it looks like and how it works. 

I guess that means I just have to make more car shows!

Dennis

Dennis,

doug this is what I found on ebay, not sure if this is what you are looking for but it would free up some valuable space for bags. There is also a top bag that is also from the same fellow that I assume is for the T-Top carrier. Hope this helps
