Hard Top Rubber - Rear Glass/Rear Deck

Post by mPedro08 »

Does anyone know a supplier who may stock replacement rubber for a hardtop for my 1976 Spider? It is the part that attaches to the lower window glass frame by press fit and sits between the aluminum frame and the rear deck of the car where the hold downs are.

Thanks in advance for any information!

There are three different common hardtops for these cars, we will need to know which top you have to answer your question accurately. Are there any badges/labels on it? Pininfarina, Parrish/Smoothline, and SnugTop all made tops for the Spider. If it's a SnugTop, you may have to fabricate something. This design has three separate windows (one large rear window and two small three-quarter windows on each side). If it's a Smoothline/Parrish Plastics top, Smoothline is still in business and sells all related parts through their website (do a search for that). Smoothline tops have one plexiglass rear window with curved ends and are sometimes painted body color. Pininfarina tops also have a single rear window, but with pointier ends and chrome trim all the way around. There are also usually chrome rain rails above the windows on PF tops, as well as a badge on the inner driver's side portion of the top. Mr. Fiat (as posted above) will be able to help you with those seals.

Hope that helps.
