T-top and e-brake

Does anybody have any ideas on where I can get the little plastic pieces on fwd and aft ends of the t-top center bar. Also the release button on my e-brake handle rattles from vibration and is annoying. Any ideas on what I could do. Thanks.

I am pretty sure to get those rubber pieces you have to buy the centerpiece and it's around $150 bucks.
Mine have been gone for a while now and I have know problems with the T tops.
As for the E-brake maybe the spring got week I have know idea.
I think you can only but it as one unit.

Thanks for the reply. I think I will try to take the handle apart and see what I can do.

Lightbulb E-brake...

I have 3 Camaros, and they all do the same damn thing. I took a piece of cardboard off of a cigarette box and put it in the space on the underside of the button. Stopped the vibration, just remember to leave enough sticking out to where you can pull the cardboard out if you need to release the brake. I just leave mine in gear, so I don't have to worry about it. Good luck!

I was going to take the handle apart but it looks like a rivet has to be drilled to get the cover off. I sprayed some penetrating oil inside the button and the noise is gone for now.

For the e-brake rattle issue, mine used to do that (I have a new one now for a different reason). I found that if I depressed the button and let it pop out quickly, that would usually stop the rattle. Sometimes I had to do it a few times to get it to quiet. If that doesn't work....cardboard!
