WTB:T-TOP Roof Shades

somi97 · 10-16-2007, 02:44 PM

I am looking for a set of T-top shades. Thanks

PhillyTurboSix · 10-16-2007, 05:48 PM

I have a local guy making them now. I'll let you know when they are done. I had him make about 5 sets using my NOS TTA sunshades as a template and color match. He's been doing custom interiors for about 20 years. I had him make a set for my GN and they came out perfect. Much much better then the ones I've found for sale. Here are some pics of the GN ones..

those look nice Jim. Let me know when there're avaliable I'll definately get a set.

Look nice! Let me know when there're avaliable and also for the GN. I'll definitely get two set, one for a TTA and a GN.

PhillyTurboSix · 10-16-2007, 08:14 PM

You got it guys! These things are really top quality! I'll call him tomorrow and order a few more sets. They are all hand made.

Jim: How the shades are fixed to the glass? Velcro??Thanks

Jim, ask him if he can redo my MoonRoof slider. The headliner is mint but the slider is sagging real bad. I'll even come down for the day during the week if he can do it.

PhillyTurboSix · 10-17-2007, 06:48 PM

You can use a few pieces of small Velcro to hold them tight to the glass but I had him make them just a little bigger then the opening. So the roof pretty much holds them in place nice and firm. You just tuck it tight to the outer edge by the handle and they fit nice.

I'll check with him but I'm sure he can. This guy does some amazing custom work. He had 4 or 5 street rods over there doing complete interiors. What color headliner do you have? If it's gray like the GN's I'll just have him order more material.

Jim, it's for an '87 GN so it would be the gray. Ask him how much it would be to do the job and can I wait while he does it. You can shoot me a PM on that.
Thanks.

He just called me the first batch is done. I'll pick them up on Thursday take some more pictures of them and get back to you guys. I'm going to have him make some more for anyone else or anyone I missed the first time around. So if you need them post here. He forgot to figure his price out and when I called back he was in bed already. Damn old people!

I'll know the price when I pick them up on Thursday and I'll post that as well!

Andy's GN · 10-20-2007, 09:43 PM

Jim- I can pick them up from you at the next MAgna meet or at Michael's autocenter's anniversary get together.

thx,

Andy
