Hello all,
My left t-top front edge is heavily scratched (don't know why, I got it like this).


Is the edge part available separately and easy to install?

Thanks

 

well since you asked yesterday and no one responded, I guess I shall so you dont feel alone here.

I dont personally have experience with this exactly, but I know weather stripping in general isnt really difficult but its a pain in the neck. Also, you can usually find a great pair of great condition, or like new ones on criagslist for like $50 - $100 easy. At least in my area.

It looks like someone had rocks in the trunk and put the t tops on them. haha. but as far as actually replacing that strip, I couldnt tell ya. Hope I helped a little. Sorry I dont know more to help better.

 

Ha ha, no, I don't feel alone.
And my request was surely unusual.

I located a decent pair for 100 euros here (buying in USA won't be a deal cause to the shipping fees). I'll probably buy them (I just have to find some room to store them) .

Thanks for your answer....

 

It's hard to tell what that photo shows -- need a zoomed-out view...

 

the left most glass is the top of the windshield. then you have the t top liner. then the right most glass is the t top glass.

 

^ Ah, in that case I would have to guess it's from some crappy car wash possibly...

 

Or by letting the tops slide around in the back instead of putting them in the carriers.

 

Mhum.
The scratches are too deep for a crappy car wash.
More probably due to a hard and rough material friction like stones or asphalt.

And only the LH panel is affected, not the RH one.

As it seems to be a very hard plastic material, I can try to fill the scratches with putty and apply a semi-gloss black paint to the liner

 

that would be my guess too.....

 

Yeah, those automatic car washes that use barb(ed wire instead of soft plastic strands can really do some damage!
