The original 1954 Buick Skylark convertible top fabric was pinpoint vinyl.
the Haartz Stayfast canvas has the longest wear rating. The Haartz pinpoint vinyl is significantly less expensive. You can read details on these fabrics in the "help" section (click at top of this page.)
This is a classic two part top. The main top and the rear window section (called the "curtain") are integrated upon installation. You can read about installation via the link below.
For those with access to old window frames (which can be suspended at the rear) we offer this top with a "blank curtain." most of the fifties tops we sell have the plastic rear window curtain. If you want a top made with a blank curtain, please inquire.
Convertible top pads are available. These include the rear quarter section pads. They are listed with accessories, below.
Tack strips for the front and rear top bow are also available. These receive the installation staples. If you require rear trim stick (rear base line tacking strips) please inquire.
Our boot attaches as original. We offer the boot in one of many colors. The fabric is modern leather grained boot vinyl. This is a subtly elastic vinyl designed specifically for boots. It is superior in boot use to topping fabric.
Hydraulics:
We now stock hydraulic cylinders, motor-pumps, and hoses for your convertible tops. All are made to OEM specifications. Each can be ordered separately; however, when ordering hydraulic cylinders we recommend replacing both. The chances are that both hydraulic cylinders were manufactured at the same time: if one is on its way out the other may follow. If the top is raised and one hydraulic cylinder is working harder than the other the result over time can lead to a slightly bent convertible top frame. The replacement of both hydraulic cylinders will ensure that the top raises and lowers symmetrically.
Systems for this car take Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) and have a 5 year warranty when used with this fluid. Brake fluid should not be used as it voids the warranty. We also offer an installation manual when ordered.
The 12 volt motor-pumps include a mounting bracket with rubber grommets to reduce vibration.
We also offer a rebuilding service for motor-pumps. Not all are repairable, but it is less expensive to have one rebuilt than to buy a new one. The motor-pump would need to be sent to us for evaluation. Hoses come with all new fittings and are made specifically to fit your car.
We a now pleased to offer hydraulic cylinders, hydraulic motor pumps, and hydraulic hose sets for many different convertibles, they will be listed on your cars page if available. Also, checkout our newly added roof rail weatherstripping seals, front header weatherstripping seals, door weatherstripping seals, trunk weatherstripping seals. Look for extra savings on weatherstripping seals kits.
We are continuing to grow our convertible related products: These include convertible top latches, tonneau covers, relays, switches, rear tacking rails (trimsticks), seat covers, car covers, and carpeting.
