88 hardtops have factory T Top cutouts in roof frame? True? (Page 4/4)

Interesting thread. I have a Fiero convertible project just about done, I just wonder how that top will hold up in inclement weather as compared to the T-Top. It is an old kit made by the defunct California Convertible Company. Out there they don't have many rain storms so if it doesn't leak that would be great. The good news is that the top uses commonly available weather stripping on the windshield top side.

Convertible tops depend on design and quality of material.

My C5 is a convertible. GM did an incredible job on the design. It speaks with tension and just two latches.

I was caught in rain recently 2 inches in 45 min and it never leaked a drop. The seals are good and the top is cloth and has held up well.

Indoor storage and care for convertibles is key to. .

What kind of reinforcing has been done to the space frame?
