Re: "Pads" on targa top? wth?
I've got four complete sets of these pads from ZR-1 Targa Tops. I'll sell three of the sets for $40 each set. If you're interested, PM me.
Both the painted top and the clear top came with them. At one time I had two cars and four tops. One of the tops had only three of the four pads missing so I bought a set at Carlisle years ago. The process of finding the correct double sided tape that would stick effectively was hit or miss. Most all stuck well to the top frame, getting it to adhere to the pad on a hot summer day was the problem. As I would go from one adhesive to the next, I found the 3M adhesive remover worked great. The bottom line is I got fed up and ended removing all the pads from all the tops. I don't miss them and don't see where they added any value unless you are interested in some kind of NCRS Top Flight award. Each set I have came off a ZR-1 before the car hit 10K miles. The pads are a clean and soft rubber like material and have been sitting in a drawer for 8 to 9 years. Last edited by HIZNHRZ; 05-09-2009 at 11:18 PM. |

Re: "Pads" on targa top? wth?
Shows how many times I look up ..went and had to check... all is in order
But did notice that the pads could easily come off if not handled carefully (such as removing the top and holding the sides where the pads are located).

Re: "Pads" on targa top? wth?
I took an "as new" painted top out of the closet today to ship across the country. The top has what I'd consider a "factory finish" and I bought it as removed from a '91 when new and stored. I never doubted it at all.
It has no pads and there's certainly no evidence that there has ever been. I declined the sale today. I've got three other tops and they all have the damned things! Maybe mine is a "service top". I certainly don't know. |

Checked both targa tops for my 94 and could find no sign of these pads ever being installed.

Like I said, a little 3M adhesive remover and there is no sign the pads were ever there.

Well damn... now went out and looked at the painted top (again never bothered to really look up) and found this>>>
Hmmm
