Weather seals seals - 1977 Transam
LeighP:
A t-top car would benefit greatly from chassis connectors....all my friends in the US who have used connectors on their T-top cars attest to it.
These same style of connectors were used by National Coach Engineering when they built full convertible 2nd gen cars late in the production run between 79-81.
The ones on my car are so tuff I actually use them as a convenient spot to place jack stands when I was replacing the re axle assembly...nice and solid.
Here you can see the full weight of the car sitting on the connectors....didn't even leave a mark, lol.

1977 Trans Am,
There are two different designs of Hurst Hatches that were available in 1977. The first design Hurst Hatches were put in with philip screws underneath the headliner and the headliner is held up by the rubber of the weather seal, the second design Hurst Hatches were riveted into place under the headliner and the headliner is held up with two U-Shaped plastic pieces.
The first design Hurst Hatches have weather seals readily available. However the second design Hurst Hatches weather seals are no longer available so I wouldn't remove them as you'll never find weather seals for them as they are no longer made.
Here is an article to help you understand the differences of the different designs of Hurst Hatches for the Trans Am Model. I hope this helps.
