Vette(s): Used to own a 1979 Corvette now owned by JB79

My 79 has a 3-point strap that can be used to keep cargo (or T-Tops) from sliding around in the rear compartment.

What other year C3s have this strap?

Vette(s): 1981 Blue Ice Met. w/pearl ghost flames TKO500 5speed. LS1 Swap 3.45 Dana 44.

'80,'81,'82's have them.

Some people, (like myself) never put them back in after replacing the carpeting back there. I think it looks "cleaner" back there without them.

All Sharks had them, I believe. Possibly the '68-'69s did not, but I'm not 100% sure on them.

Got them in my 82, but I find them to be worthless. They just get in the way.

As Sarge81 said, I replaced the carpet back there last spring and I didn't created holes in the carpet to reinstall them.  I found them somekind of useless plus they look dirty.

For those of you who said that they were useless, how do you keep your t-tops from moving around? Do you have some other way of storing them that I don't know about?
