Trim vs. No Trim
The Camaro top is available with or without bottom trim along the rear plastic window. (Rear glass windows only come with trim.) Don't know which to choose? Keep in mind the trim is a design element only. The tops are identical in fabric and durability and adding bottom trim doesn't affect the cost of the top. So the real question is, which look you prefer?
No Bottom Trim
Bottom Trim
Original Patterns:
We offer the replacement tops in original stayfast canvas (some cars) or original pinpoint vinyl fabric (most original tops).
Installation:
This is a classic two part top. You can read a thorough summary of the construction and installation of this top via the link at the bottom of this page. Do-It_Yourself installation is performed by many of our customers. No sewing is required. Contact cement work and stapling or tacking is required. Reading the summary link (below) will help you decide about self installation.
Both Parts Available Separately:
If you wish to replace only the window section, or only the main top, the two parts are separately available. The rear window was originally plastic and did not zip down. The sewn in rear window, as original, makes for a less expensive and easier to install top. We do carry an aftermarket rear window section with a zipper as listed. This is for those who want to ride with the top up but the rear window down!
Hold Down Cables:
A pair of cables, one on each side, thread through pocketed hems on the main top sides. The ends of the cables hold the top to the frame. New cables are recommended with each new top. (You can read about cables in the installation summary link.) Cables offered here feature the original factory configuration plates.
Tacking strips:
Much of the installation involves tacking or stapling (there is no sewing involved.) Tacking into the bow over the windshield (header bow) and into the bow over the rear window (rear top bow) is done into special strips embedded in these frame bows. We offer new tack strips for the front and rear top bows. They should not be required until after at least two tops have been stapled to them.
Top pads:
Top padding "builds out" the top. Pads can last through two tops but should be replaced if of suspect condition.
Top Boots:
You have the option of using a top storage boot. Our boot fits, as original. It is available in any of the colors that you can view via the boot samples link.
Camaro Installation Manual:
We offer a 14 page, 8 1/2 x 11 step by step manual for installing 1967-69 Camaro tops. It is listed under "Accessories."
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.
Parts in this category (Chevrolet Camaro ) fit cars for years: 1967, 1968 and 1969.
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.

seals, door weatherstripping seals, trunk weatherstripping seals. Look for extra savings on

We are continuing to grow our convertible related products: These include convertible top

and carpeting.
