Cleaning & Protectant | Important Information
Original Patterns:
Our Oldsmobile Cutlass, 442 and F85 convertible tops are made from original dealer patterns. These two Oldsmoblie convertibles take the same top.
Fabrics:
Pinpoint vinyl top is the original top material.
Installation:
This is a classic two part top. You can read a summary of the construction and installation of this top via the link at the bottom of this page. The full manual for installing the 1966-67 Oldsmobile Cutlass and F85 tops is available and is included in our top packages.
Both Parts Available Separately:
If you wish to replace only the window section, or only the main top, the two parts are separately available.
To order a new top without installation accessories then order both the main top and the rear window section.
Hold Down Cables:
A pair of cables, one on each side, thread through pocketed hems on the main top's sides. The ends of the cables hold the top to the frame. New cables are recommended with each new top.
Tacking strips:
Much of the installation involves tacking or stapling (there is no sewing.) Tacking into the bow over the windshield (header bow) and into the bow over the rear window (rear top bow) is done into tacking strips embedded in these frame bows.
Top pads:
Top padding "builds out" the top. Pads attach to the frame bows underneath the top.
Top Boots:
You have the option of using a top storage boot. Our boot fits, as original. If any of the 16 boot clips need replacement you must order new clips (see "Accessories.") The 4 boot snaps are already installed.
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.
Rear Trim Sticks, Set: The rear trim sticks are also called the rear tacking bow set or rear base bow set. They hold the staples that bind the base of the main top and the curtain. The rear trim sticks are then bolted to the body of the car, at the studs that are in the car. Our trim sticks are the very best made. They are layers of poplar hardwood bound with cascamite marine adhesive. So they are much better at accepting and holding staples than the polyurethane bows on the market, and they will not shatter.
Parts in this category (Oldsmobile Cutlass, Supreme, 442 & F 85) fit cars for years: 1966 and 1967.
We a now pleased to offer hydraulic cylinders, hydraulic motor pumps, and hydraulic hose sets.
