Yup. I have them on my 70.
This turn signal switch is a newer iteration with intermittent wipers; came with the assembly.

All our soft tops have non tilt columns.
All our soft tops are base "standard" models. We do not have a "high grade" soft top to examine.

that trim looks killer, (like they all should have been) and the more i look at mine the more it bothers me with its untrimmed gaping holeAnd here's the older one with mist, that also came with the assbly, but its NLA far as I can tell and i believe was never the rocker switch style hazard.

I spent some time last week printing in this super soft rubber filament. What a huge PITA this stuff is. I have printed in rubber before but nothing this soft. I finally got some quality looking parts and was able to build the right package of printer settings to get the quality I was looking for. I have also found a chemical that has the ability to chemically smooth this rubber and remove most if not all of the 3D printed lines. That is the good news. My last challenge is to now deal with supports. The part requires supports due to the lip on the outer edge. It has a rather substantial overhang. I have tried with zero success to print the part AND supports in all rubber. That is a no-go. The rubber supports have zero strength in holding up the lip while printing above it. It's a total train wreck. Now I have to switch and go with a dual independent head machine with water soluble support filament (very rigid) on one head and the rubber filament on the other head. That adds another 2-3 hours of print time. That means one of my dual head machines (has the ability to print two parts at one time) must be used for this. Those are the backbone of my business. Pulling one of them out of production is basically pulling two machines out of production that run at 80% speed 24/7 to print a single part (with two materials) at 15% speed. To put it simple, in the business perspective that is idiotic. I am not saying I wont finish this project I committed to. I am just saying this is no longer profitable for me. I will be using this project as a learning tool for future rubber parts that might be more cost effective in printing due to a more simplistic shape. Rubber HATES any type of overhang. A basic cylinder would be easy but that is not what I'm dealing with. I have pics of these printed rubber grommet things BUT they are still not good and I don't want to scare folks off seeing parts in mid process. Once the water soluble support arrives and I can print a piece with the dual head/dual filament machine then the part (in theory) should look great and I will post pics at that point. Probably about a week out from that. On a last positive note, I was able to stretch the last version over the shaft assembly on my 80 series cruiser which has a VERY similar look/shape/size to the 70 series shaft assembly. It should just stretch and slide right over everything with zero tools and disassembly of any kind.
That might have to be plan B if I can't find success with 3D printing the rubber. We will see.might be easier to make a mould and pour these out of silicone...
but i think thats beyond MY patience threshold
