2003 preventing hard top scratches

[BIRDSALL]

To prevent scratching I went to a sign shop and picked up some vinyl that matched my car perfectly. I had the spacer material that Ford sold for this issue but it looked like crap on my black car. I used the Ford stuff as a template and made the four pieces out of the vinyl I purchased. It looked great and worked perfectly. You can hardly notice it on the car with the top off..

One of the best solutions I've heard yet. Maybe you can post a photo

Looking for words from experience before I install the stainless
steel hardtop cover trim pieces.

I would send them back and order this from Amazon. Works great https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TVLLTSL/?tag=thunderbirdforum-20
