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! [Big Grin] Unbelievable. [Cool]

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.

Mine appeared to have slid down a bit from the heat. I will keep an eye on them. [Smile]

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. [Big Grin]

Are these available from GM as a replacement part at a reasonable price. I lost one of mine and the other one is falling off as well.

Mine fell off the first summer I had the car. 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.

In these times I want my SS to have it's rubbers on. [Big Grin]
