A majority of our customers are performing their own installations. If you are comfortable using an
air driven staple gun and contact cement then you can consider do-it-yourself installation. There is no
sewing involved.
This is a classic two part convertible top. The rear window section and the main top are joined together
at the tacking strips in the bow above the window and at the rear base line.
Our 40 page 8.5 X 11 two part top manual can be purchased in advance of the top purchase or the
complete top installation package. We will credit its price against a future top package purchase. This
manual is a great guide for two part top installations.
Original Fabrics: Beginning in mid 1998, Pontiac eliminated the front to back seams running along the convertible top and switched to Chrysler Sailcloth vinyl as the topping fabric.
If you have a 1998 Sunfire with front to back seams (and pinpoint grained vinyl) then you should select the 1995-mid '98 tops at our home page.
Classic Two Part Tops: This is a classically designed two part top. The rear window section (called the "curtain" in the trade) and the main top are two separate parts which are integrated during installation. You can read how these tops install via the link to our manual summary below.
Main Top and Curtain available separately: Many owners require only the window section or only the main top. We offer the two separately. Both are required for a full restoration. Our package specials include both the main top, the curtain, and the parts usually required for a complete installation.
Hold Down Cables: There are two cables on each side of the top, embedded inside the top's hems (long side cable hem and rear flap hem.) Usually the side cables should be replaced. The rear flap cables often last through two tops. Cables secure the top to the frame.
Installation Manual: The 22 page, 8 1/2 x 11, illustrated two part top manual that we offer (see accessories) will show the careful restorer how these to part tops install. Thousands of owners have performed self installation following these steps. We cannot provide consulting services. Installation involves no sewing: contact cement work and tacking or stapling are used to install the top. The packages that we offer come with the Sunfire supplement to the two part top installation manual.
