    May Have Found Missing C3 Hardtop Part

    I posted a note a few days ago looking for details of the rubber sleeves that go over the two outboard hardtop studs on a C3 (mine is a 74').

    In the interim I was looking through the bag of loose parts that I assembled shortly after acquiring the car about a year ago. I came across one piece of black rubber tubing 1 3/4 inches long , 3/8 ID by 1/2 OD with three ribs along the edge.
    I am guess this is probably one of the sleeves since the ribs suggest this is probably GM supplied tubing and it is the right size for the studs.

    I would still like some feedback from anyone who believes they have the original rubber sleeves to see if what I found is,in fact,one of the two originalsleeves.

    Robert.. I also found a piece of cut rubber hose ,with ribs, covering one stud on a 71 hardtop I purchased a few years ago. I think you found the original sleeve.
    There must be a lot of play in the latches to require such a thick sleeve.
