Chevrolet Cavalier Convertible Tops and Convertible Top Parts

The Chevrolet Cavalier was introduced in 1982. Convertible Cavaliers from 1983 to 2001 underwent changes in their top design. Purchase of a replacement Chevrolet Cavalier convertible top requires care in distinguishing certain mid-year changes in the soft top design. Be certain that your vendor provides the information necessary for you to properly identify the correct replacement convertible (soft) top for your Chevy Cavalier convertible.

Soft Top Fabrics:

Early Chevrolet Cavalier convertible tops were produced with pinpoint vinyl fabric. The original fabric was changed to the sailcloth vinyl convertible top fabric in later models. These two convertible top fabrics are manufactured with identical physical characteristics. But the two soft top fabrics have different outer grains (textures) and come in different choices of top colors.

Self Installation:

The Chevrolet Cavalier convertible tops are in the "classic two part convertible top" category. Our site has a write-up on how they are installed. Instructions are available for self installers. A high percentage of owners of convertibles, especially of two part convertible tops, are doing their own installation.

Cables and Other Convertible Top Parts:

Usually all that is required for a second and possibly a third top is the top itself and new hold down cables. A third top will likely require convertible top bow tacking strips and padding.
