There is an aluminum trim piece that is just behind the glass panels. I believe it runs the full width, behind both glass panels.

It looks as if a previous owner was not careful when installing the glass and hit that trim causing a wrinkle and slight tear. It seems to be fairly thin gage material.

Are there any sources for replacement parts?

While the clip is being replaced it seems like the perfect time to replace it if possible.

Any information is most appreciated.

Is what you need in my list of parts I have for sale?

Or are you talking the thin p-seal. Search this forum for that term.

Is it riveted to the black plastic trim piece? That's probably the "p" seal. It normally has a bead of plastic next to the top edge, and a felt covering.
Hence the name... The cross section is shaped like the letter P.
I don't think there are any more around, but the ones for the late 80s Mustang T-tops are fairly easily adapted.

Hmm, the car is at the body shop. I will try to stop and look at it tomorrow.

Thanks.

The P seal is strictly cosmetic and performs no other function. I've been driving my T-top for 12 years with no P seals whatsoever.

Took a look at the car this afternoon. Most of the felt is gone. When the clip comes off I will take a closer look at these parts.

Thank you all for the input.

Remove the old P-seals and use weatherstrip tape. See how here.

Good info. Thanks!
