C&C t-tops. anyone with knowledge come in.

i noticed that my t-tops on my firebird were much smaller than the ones on my camaro. turns out there "C&C cars and concepts" t-tops. i need to buy new weatherstripping for them, where do i get new weatherstripping. will the GM factory weatherstripping still work?

those t-tops almost look like the size of 2 gens.. although I doubt they would fit since I think the roof form isn't the same? must be a pain to find a new set of t-tops if you break anything...

they don't look smaller, but they are about 3 inches smaller than the factory ones. honestly i never noticed until i took the tops of both the camaro and my C&C firebird. i'm lucky i didn't order that headliner offline. lol

headliner

Like they said,read the tech article on the headliner.I did mine and it really does turn out quite well if you are patient and get it right.Just get all the old foam off and use fiberglass to repair any broken portions of the carboard.good as new...
