I have a 99 Trans Am Firehawk with 200,000 miles. Still no leaks from the T-Tops.

Would absolutely love t-tops on the current camaro. If money was no object I would have them added to my car. I reached out to the company doing the trans a conversations and they will do them but the cost was prohibitive for me at this time.

Out of curiosity and if you'd like to share, what was the cost for the conversion?

Honestly I didn't know about the TA till recently, if I had I might have puled the trigger on one.

No, never had them never wanted them. Even on my C5 corvette I never removed the targa top.

I really liked the t-tops in my ‘92 Firebird and ‘00 Trans Am. Unlike the sunroofs on cars I’ve owned, I never had any leaking issues with t-tops. I prefer the look of t-tops to convertibles. Definitely would have gotten those on my gen 6 Camaro if they were available.

Yes.

Had them on my '86 IROC and '96 Z28. Loved them on those cars. They never leaked. However, I don't miss them. I much prefer the power top on my convertible and being able to drop the top while driving. Sooooo much easier than taking off T-tops. IMHO, T-tops don't/wouldn't look right on 5th and 6th Gen Camaros.

Never liked my 14 with sunroof, would never own another Camaro with a roof after buying this.

RobC2 · 05-11-2018, 02:58 PM

I have had a number of 3rd and 4th gens with them and maybe it is just nostalgia, but I really enjoyed them. I have since had a Vette with targa top, several different roadsters (soft top and hard top) and a Jeep Wrangler soft top. I still miss the t-tops and would get them if they were offered.

Just sold my '87 with T's. Loved them but they leaked. my '88's leaked as well. My '80's were solid but it's just a pain in the ass to pop them off, stow them, and then be on your way. I might pick up another 3rd or 2nd gen but it'll be a hardtop this time.

Lerch98 · 05-11-2018, 04:38 PM

Tee-Tops ... never
Sun roof... Nope
I like a real hard top. Other wise I would get a convertible.

Johnwon · 05-11-2018, 04:50 PM

I like the sunroof better than the T-tops on the 93 that I had years ago,because I don't have to stop and stow them in the trunk and if it starts raining when driving it's quick to close the sunroof. I also used to get a lot of wind dampening sounds with them that I don't get with the sunroof.

Should have a Targa top option.

pjz1082 · 05-11-2018, 05:23 PM

Would LOVE them. Had on my '92 and '95. Never had problems with leaking unless i went through a high pressure wash LOL
