Message years ago I noticed this problem on the driver's side T-Top metal strip. I ordered a set of the metal strips (One for the driver's side and one for the passenger's side) from Bernie. I took both metal strips to a body shop and had them painted to match my Z's color. I then took the driver's side T-Top apart and replaced the metal strip, and stored the passenger's side T-Top metal strip.

Recently, I noticed the passenger's side T-Top metal strip had rust bubbling up from inside the strip. I had to search for the passenger's side T-Top metal strip that I acquired 15 years ago in Northern Virginia. About 10 years ago I moved to Florida and you know how moving can forever bury things. Finally, I found the strip in the attic neatly wrapped and tapped up in a towel, It was still in prefect condition.

Over the weekend I took the passenger's side T-Top apart and replaced the metal strip - It is looking as good as new!
