My Corvette(s):
1981 beige and brown
Default T-top strap

I am missing the strap that attaches the t-tops to the brackets on the back of body. Not for driving. I usually just put them there at crusing nights just to show additional options that this car has.
Does anyone know where I can get this adjustable strap?
thanks

First,welcome to CAC!!
hope you enjoy the forums, and be sure to register your 81 in the registry if you haven't done so already!!!
next,the only t-top straps I know of are the ones that go in behind the seats that hold the tops down on the floor...Are you refering to the roof panel carrier,perhaps??? It was an option on the 80-82 vettes..

Richard, If you have 4 holes on the back deck like my vette then you have the roof panel carrier,If you don't have the carrier good luck finding one there are as rare as a silver quarter,Once in a while Ive seen them on e-bay but they go for $500.00+
