The original chrysler imperial convertible top fabric was Haartz pinpoint vinyl. We also offer a nice quality more durable Haartz stayfast canvas.
About The Fabrics: Haartz Pinpoint Vinyl’s design is original to most American cars from the fifties to the nineties. Pinpoint refers to the little dots or pips that you see if you look closely at the vinyl surface. European cars, such as the old Beetles and others also used pinpoint vinyl as the topping fabric.
Haartz Stayfast Canvas has a canvas outer layer and a preshrunk cotton inner layer. The two are bonded with and separated by a butyl rubber core. It is this core that makes the fabric last a very long time, with both better static and dynamic wear ratings than vinyl toppings. Haartz Stayfast is the American substitute for the German canvases used in Mercedes, Porsche, BMW, some models of Mustang and Lebaron and others. Canvas is widely regarded as "richer looking" than vinyl. It is a little harder to clean. The inside of the top is pre-shrunk cotton. The inner lining is usually black.
Windows:
These tops can be made with a rear window section containing a sewn in and zippered plastic rear window. We also offer the top with a clear glass rear window also zippered. The heavier duty fabric is recommended when ordering a glass rear window.
Pads:
We offer the top pads, listed under "accessories".
hold down cables:
cables are threaded into the side hems (cable pockets) of the top and fasten the top to the folding frame. They provide variable tension via the spring on each side cable.
Tack Strips
tack strips are embedded in the folding top frame at the front and rear top bows. The installer staples the top to the front and rear top bow tacking strips. Replacement tack strips are listed under "accessories." if you require tacking strips to rebuild the rear (base line) trim sticks (to which the top is stapled at the rear bottom) then please inquire.
installation:
this is a classic two part convertible top. The link at the bottom provides a summary of the installation manual.
the top installs with staples and glue; there is no sewing involved.
Boots:
top boots are available, but the original clips are obsolete. Our boots are sold for snap installation and it is up to the installer to apply the snaps to the car and in the boot fabric.
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 (Chrysler Imperial) fit cars for years: 1967 and 1968.
