Dodge Dart, 1967-69
Convertible Top and Convertible Top Parts

Pinpoint versus Crush: Crush grain vinyl and Haartz Pinpoint vinyl differ only in the surface textures. Their physical properties and wear ratings are the same. Crush grain has a leathery texture, while pinpoint has the classic tiny hemispheres built on to the vinyl surface.

Do It Yourself Installation: You can read how these tops install via the link below. If you are comfortable renting and using an air driven staple gun then you are a good candidate for d-i-y installatin. The work requires stapling (must use stainless steel staples) and the use of contact cement; there is no sewing.

Main Top and Rear Curtain: The two parts of the top (which integrate during installation) are available separately as "Main Top" and "Rear Window Section." Order both if you want a complete top without any of the other parts.

Hold Down Cables: A cable is threaded through the side hem of the top on each side. The cables are fastened to the top frame in the front and in the rear. We recommend changing cables with each new top.

Tack Strips: Tacking strips are embedded in the header bow and the rear top bow. They receive the installation staples or tacks. Tack strips should last through at least two tops.

Pads: The padding can last through a second top. Removal of the top will reveal the condition of the pads.

Boots: A top storage boot is optional. Replacement boots are listed with "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 (Dodge Dart) 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.

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.
