I started replacing the T-Top weatherstrip on my early-build '69 this weekend and ran into a snag. My original WS had a internal metal reinforcement and 4 retaining screws in the portion that fits along the top of the door glass. My new WS (from Corvette Rubber) fits fine, but lacks this reinforcement.
I checked several parts catalogs, and most state that their WS "will fit" on a '69, but isn't correct. My concern is that the WS will not stay in place very long without the metal reinforcement and corresponding retaining screws (i.e., held in place by WS adhesive only).
Anyone found a T-Top WS supplier for a '69 that has this metal reinforcement that they're happy with ?
Thanks,
Ed
