Convertible Top Pin Guides

Here's the original post offering the "cups"
http://www.w-body.com/showthread.php...-VERT-PIN-CUPS
Not sure if the offer still stands on re-making these...


I ordered these 3 to see how they look / fit. If at all.

The OD of the pin is about .3075"
And the hole was around .74"

Yes, I realize they're rubber, but it's better than the 3/4" HOLE in there! I'll report back in a couple days on them.

I PM'd DHS1223 on the topic.

Sorry guys, the "guides" are still in the back of my Vue. I'm missing one of my front "pins" that would go into these... I've seen some replacements on ebay for like corvettes and such, but none for a cutlass... :-( Gotta get some details on the ones I saw to see if they would work in the vert... I promise I didn't fall off the face of the earth or anything! Just been real busy with a much bigger project!

I WILL get back to you all when I try them out!!!

Those ones work!!! The other ones are VERY rubbery, like you could flatten them with a roll of pennies, these ones are a nice hard rubber, and they snap right into the hole and stay there!
On the downside, they're the most expensive ones, as they one come one in a pack.






Then I noticed one side had a few remains left in it lol


But I'd recommend these to any vert owner, at least until someone makes a new set of the aluminum ones!

Sorry for the lag on the update!
And for the COMPLETE thread hi-jack!

(and I know I need a new visor, a good one is sitting in the trunk right now lol)
