i'm looking for the part labeled "B" in my attached pic.

it's the stiff rubbery middle piece that should stick out over the door glass. the ends have torn and now sag which causes them to get caught in the window glass when closing the door.

i can find all the rubber seals and the top drip edge piece that attaches to the ttop glass (labeled "A")... i don't even know what part "B" is called to help search for.

as an example of what i've found... i'm assuming the following...
"A" = 1982 - 1992 Firebird T-Top Drip Edge Seals Pair ( Plastic )

"B" = ?

"C" = 1982-1992 T-Top Rubber Weatherstrip Side Rail Seals

Part "A" that you have found is the replacement for the crappy rubber stuff, it was used on 90?-92? TTOP cars with the "large pins", I think.
Unless you want the rubber that will fail again, (mine were nasty when they were 2 yrs old) buy the plastic ones, trim the 3? tabs off the back and install them inplace of the nasty looking rubber ones.
(Tip, take a file to the edge of the plastic parts because they are sharp from the way the mold was built)
 
Part A is the plastic trim attached to the t top. It is not replaceable and is permanently attached to the glass. Part B is the t top drip edge. Part C is the weatherstrip on the t top that seals to the glass and meets the t top body weatherstrip.
Look up t top drip edge and as TTOP350 said, you can get them in rubber or plastic.
 
You got the right parts there ... and yes the plastic version is the way to go that's what I used on mine (just a nos GM set).

"A" - if yours look bad you can just sand them down and repaint them ... I had this done to my set before I installed the new drip edge (B) and weatherstrip (C)
 
thanks for the info guys!

i saw a tta at an auto auction yesterday, it had the plastic version of the drip edge. i guess i'll switch to plastic based on you guy's recommendations...
