Original Patterns:
Our 1994-02 Pontiac Firebird tops are made from original dealer patterns. They are not "copies of copies." We offer the replacement tops in original pinpoint vinyl and Stayfast canvas fabrics. Both were used on original tops.
Fabrics:
The original pinpoint vinyl is a classic topping. Its texture consists of tiny spheres or "pinpoints." Stayfast canvas has an elegant canvas outer layer and a butyl rubber central core. You can read more about the fabrics via the "Help" link at the top of this page.
Many combinations available:
Besides the choice between pinpoint vinyl and stayfast canvas tops you should decide which window you prefer: plastic, non-defroster glass or defroster glass. The variety of configurations makes the list of tops rather large!
Installation:
This is a classic two part top. You can read a thorough summary of the construction and installation of two parts top via the link at the bottom of this page. Installation requires stapling or tacking and the use of contact cement. There is no sewing required.
Our Installation Manual:
Many first time installers do an excellent job with one of our package specials and our 1994-2002 detailed installation manual. This was written especially for the first time installer and elaborates all removal and installation steps for the top, pads and headliner. It is included with our top packages. It is also available if you order the top or the rear window section separately.
Video-DVD:
We have a nice DVD/Video showing the full removal and installation of these tops. Though not as detailed as the printed manual this can be ordered separately. It should instruct adequately and demonstrate visually all of the removal and installation steps. However, the print manual is more thorough and detailed.
Both Parts Available Separately:
If you wish to replace only the window section, or only the main top, the two parts are separately available.
Hold Down Cables:
A pair of cables, one on each side, thread through pocketed hems on the main top sides. The ends of the cables hold the top to the frame. New cables are recommended with each new top.
Headliner:
We offer the headliner for the convertible interior roof. The headliner is listed with "Accessories." If the headliner is in good condition it can be retained under a replacement top.
Top pads:
Top padding "builds out" the top. Pads can last through two tops but should be replaced if of suspect condition. These Camaros utilized unique pads consisting of elastic strapping and padded webbing.
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.
1994 OWNERS, PLEASE NOTE
The 1994 Camaro top frames were modified after GM experienced problems during this model year. The tops listed on this page will fit the 1994 provided that the car had been given the recall repair. The middle bow was repaired if the car received the dealer recommended work. The installer of a 1994 top with an uncorrected middle bow must modify the bow to make the replacement tops fit properly. For 1995-2002 this problem was eliminated because all cars were sold with the re-designed top frame.
Parts in this category (Pontiac Firebird & Trans-Am) fit cars for years: 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002.
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.
