Vette(s): 1978 rough shape project, runs good,looks great from across the street.black/black not original.
ok, all the vendors have weatherstripping, Rik's has latex foam weathersripping,anybody tried this? Looking for opinions, 78 turns into a swamp if it's in the rain uncovered for a day. Thanks in advance, Glenhsefxr112007-08-30 19:28:40

Vette(s): 1974 corvette coupe 350/350, 4speed, red

I have a specific question about t -top weatherstripping i am currently installing on my74 coupe. If anyone who has done this can advise me, my problem is occuring at the outboard front corners, where there appears to be no means of laying the corner down, i guess my question is: Is there a fifth screw or clip that goes is the roof (and through the weatherstripping)  forward of the metal strip that holds the weatherstripping along the side windows? The only other thing that i can see to try, is to remove some of the material from the underside (side contacting the roof) of the weatherstripping at the front outside corners in question.  FYI: the product I am using is made by METRO MOULDED PARTS INC. MINNEAPOLIS, MN

Does your new strips have alignment pins that mate with the holes on the T-tops?

YES AND NO...... EVERYTHING LINES UP BUT THERE IS NOTHING TO HOLD IT DOWN ON THE FORWARD OUTSIDE CORNERS, BUT THE W/S HAS A SCREW RECESS IN IT BUT THERE IS NO HOLE TO COINCIDE WITH IT....
