LTB - T-Panel

[Trstno1]

Hey guys -

I'm in the market for a T-Panel to replace mine. I am looking for one with zero bends or damage. If you have one shoot me a message.

Im also in the market for a rear upper finisher and a windshield.

Thanks

Just a heads up - because I've gone through this process as well, if you're looking for a windshield it is best to just buy it from DMCH. It is expensive, and shipping is expensive (I'm lucky to be have been able to pick mine up saving the shipping cost) but in the end you'll have new glass. Any used ones I've seen are yellowed and scratched - new ones are scratch free and really clear, it was a really big difference from my old one clarity wise.

I think I have a T Panel in the garage. It's been a few years but I will check when I get home.

Awesome, thank you for looking. I just wanted to replace mine (which has a small bend) with one that is in good shape with the foam insert below it. If you find it please let me know the condition and what you are looking to get from it.

If it has only a bend and not specifically bent you should try hammering it flat with rubber mallets after removing it from the roof. I did this to mine for a small bend at the rear of the panel and it was surprisingly easy.

To the OP or anybody with a bent T-panel - consider also an option to get with Rob Grady or Chris Nicholson (PJ Grady EU) for remote repair since T-panels ship pretty well. You might start with Rob. He or Chris will need a good photo, will advise about shipping and they can probably deal with the pad, too.

One upside of repairing it is that you'll preserve the matching SS grain pattern to the doors if you stay with the one you have (assuming it is the original for that car and assuming the repair can be done without a regrain, which is likely).

Thanks for the heads up. DMCH it is.
