Author Topic: Rubber piece on header latch WayneSS01 2nd Gear Member # 734 posted                       Yeah the ones on each of the top latches. My passenger side one feel off today. I had driven to work with the top down and the tonneau cover off. The rubber piece fell onto the passenger seat as the top was coming up! Unbelievable. Got home took the other one off. Glued them both back on with Gorilla glue. I have used this glue on a loose piece of 'chrome' bumper trim and it held. So we'll see how the rubber piece holds. -------------------- '01 SS #1618 Pewter Vert M6 My Conveyance BFBA Posts: 465 | From: B'ham, AL | Registered: Sep 2000  |  IP: Logged 2002Z4CSS "Post"er Child Member # 1393 posted                    Mine appeared to have slid down a bit from the heat. I will keep an eye on them. Posts: 5682 | From: Dearborn,Mi. | Registered: Feb 2002  |  IP: Logged poSSum AutoXer Member # 119 posted                    Mine are off and stored away. I don't miss them at all ...and the weight saving has got to be good for .00000003 in the quarter.

I lost one of mine and the other one is falling off as well. -------------------- 2001 NBM Firehawk T/A Convertible Options: GM - MN6, TCS, CD changer; SLP - Bilstein, Auburn, Chrome wheels, Floor Mats, Cover.

I had the dealer replace them and they have held since. It helps that I don't drive my car daily now like I used to so it's not subjected to heat like it was in the past. The glue should work though. Mine were missing for a year or two before I took it into the dealer and I (like Possum) didn't miss them much.
