Our convertible tops are made from original dealer patterns. They are not "copies of copies."
Installation:
This is a classic two part top. You can read a summary of the installation of this top via the link at the bottom of this page.
We encourage do-it-yourself installation for a person who is comfortable renting an air driven staple gun and the use of contact cement. There is no sewing involved.
Our full restoration package includes the required stainless steel staples and contact cement. The included manual has been used by hundreds of first time installers in replacing this family of classical two part tops.
Rear Window:
Horse shoe zipper as is original
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.
Top pads:
Top padding "builds out" the top. Pads can last through two tops but should be replaced if of suspect condition.
Boots:
A boot stores the top at the back when the top is down and is optional. Our replacement boots attach as the original and is available in a wide variety of leather grained boot vinyls.
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 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 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. Most are repairable and it is less expensive to have one rebuilt than to buy a new one. Your motor-pump should be wrapped well to prevent leakage. Send to us at the address at the very bottom of this page. You can include credit card information, a money order or a check for $150. We will ship back a fully refurbished motor.
