1984-1996 C4 Removable Top Panel Rubber Edge Trim
Finish the Fit: 1984–1996 Corvette Removable Top Panel Rubber Edge Trim
Your C4 Corvette’s removable roof panel deserves a clean, quiet, and properly sealed finish—but if the factory metal edge trim is missing, bent, or rusted, your top could be falling short. The 1984–1996 Corvette Removable Top Panel Rubber Edge Trim is an aftermarket solution that replicates the sleek look of the original metal trim while offering easier installation and long-lasting flexibility.
Why This Part is Essential
The original GM trim was made of metal—effective, but prone to corrosion, bending, or complete separation over time. This rubber replacement trim offers the same visual profile with less hassle and no risk of rust. It mounts to the outer edge of your removable top panel, acting as a protective and sealing surface that helps prevent wind noise, leaks, and weatherstrip movement.
If your roof panel looks unfinished or you're hearing excess wind while driving, this is the smart upgrade that brings function and factory-style finish back to your C4.

Tech Note: Installation Instructions
Carefully remove your original metal trim (if it hasn't already come off). Clean the roof panel edge thoroughly. Install the rubber trim by applying automotive-grade adhesive. Cut the tip off the glue tube and squeeze it between the lens or painted panel and the rubber trim. Let the adhesive dry fully before touching or cleaning. Once dry, trim any excess glue carefully with a sharp razor blade for a clean, factory-style result.
