T-Top Panels Restoration
The top side of my T-Top panels were painted when we painted the body (for more on the body painting project, follow this link). Apparently, we didn't do a very good job of protecting the bottom side of the T-top panels from paint overspray. In addition to that, the weatherstripping was old and in desparate need of replacing.
The picture below shows the underside of one of my T-Top panels as it looked after we painted the top side. To prepare for painting the top side, we removed the stainless steel trim that runs along the outside edges. I had also removed the vinyl trim panel from the underside as well as the weatherstripping.
