NOS T-Tops

Hey guys, sorry for the dumb question, but how much does a set of NOS T-Tops usually go for? I tried looking on Hawks to get an idea, but they didn't have any. Thanks

Re: NOS T-Tops

Be careful buying NOS t-tops. I bought a NOS set of the acrylic t-tops on eBay. They were shipped in the now VERY old original box. Unfortunately the cardboard pieces inside that hold the t-tops in place came free due to the old glue and staples failing. The t-tops arrived shattered. I never filed a claim with UPS because they were worth a lot more than I paid. I was able to sell some of the parts and kept the new seals. But I still lost some money on the deal.

Learn from my mistake. Ask the seller to verify the packaging and re-pack it if needed so it is safe for transit.

Would not work on OP's '91. Has hooks instead of pins - for an '82-83

Re: NOS T-Tops

Just curious, but what the heck can happen to a glass t-top that you would ever need to replace it short of a deep scratch or shattering?

Re: NOS T-Tops

FYI...
Eastwood (and others) sell glass polishing kits...
From my research, it's very labor (and parts) intensive for it to work...

http://www.eastwood.com/glass-polish...parent_id=5657

I guess from what I'm seeing, you can transfer the hardware from one type of T top to another....

Fair question. There's a guy locally that has some for sale on craigslist. He just wants people to make an offer instead of listing a price. I thought it might be a good pickup if he were to sell them at a decent price and have a set as backup for one of those "you never know" reasons. Lol
