Mercury Monterey Montclair & Turnpike Cruiser, 1957-58
Convertible Top and Convertible Top Parts

Fabrics: The original top fabric was a special three layer pinpoint grained vinyl. This is replicated by the modern Eurotopping pinpoint vinyl. The central layer (core) is a butyl rubber, just as in Haartz Stayfast canvas. This adds significant durability to the fabric over all two layer vinyls.

Curtains: The curtain is the plastic rear window section of the top. This particular window was designed in a "wrap around" style which ours duplicates. The plastic window is fitted with a zipper. Our curtains are made with modern Dept. of Transportation approved heavy guage plastic windows.

Haartz pinpoint vinyl is significantly less expensive and for some the fabric of choice.

Choose Color: Please click on one of the blue links, above, to see fabric swatches. Jot down your color choice. You will have an ample checkout message box within which you can specify your color and also to leave any requests you wish to make.

Boots: We can offer a top boot for this convertible. We strongly recommed one of the modern boot vinyls. This is a leather grained vinyl with a slight elasticity making it perfect for boot usage. Boots are listed, with accessories, below.

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 (Mercury Monterey Montclair & Turnpike Cruiser) fit cars for years: 1957 and 1958.
