Hard Top clips
« on: September 07, 2024, 20:52:09 »
What is the purpose of these triangle clips in the chrome / rubber molding of the hard top?
Thank you in advance.

Hello Dirk, seems they support the rubber, have a look on here, some cars seem to have them, and some are missing, apparently they are on the soft top as well, i may check mine tomorrow

Bob, thank you for the link. I have two. One on each side towards the A pillar. I guess these are some kind of rubber support?

I think they come handy when you have issues fitting glass to rubber - to move rubber in or out a bit.
