Fabrics:
The original convertible top fabric was pinpoint vinyl and had a plastic rear window. We also offer the top in Haartz Stayfast canvas. You may read about fabrics via the "help" link at the top of this page.
Do-It-Yourself Installation:
You can read how these tops install via the link below. This link takes you to a summary of our two part top installation booklet. There is sufficient information there to enable a decision on do-it-yourself installation. If you are comfortable renting and using an air driven staple gun then you should be a good candidate for do-it-yourself installation. There is no sewing.
Installation Manual:
The full, detailed manual for these cars is included with our top packages. It is a 20 page 8 1/2 x 11 illustrated step by step installation guide for 1961-64 Pontiac Bonnevilles and Catalinas.
Hold Down Cables:
Cables are threaded through the side hems (cable pockets) of the top. They fasten the top, front and back, on each side, to the frame. They are not visible in the completed installation.
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. Pads must be examined to determine whether they need replacement. We offer a pad set consisting of the encased foam side pads and the pair of nylon webbing strips for the rear of the car.
Boots:
If you desire a storage boot we strongly recommend using one of the modern boot vinyls. These have a slight "give" or stretch which makes them ideal as boots. Topping vinyls will be stiff and unwieldy as boot material.
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 (Pontiac Bonneville, Catalina, Grand Prix & Parisienne) fit cars for years: 1961, 1962, 1963 and 1964.
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.
