Dodge Shadow Convertible Tops and Convertible Top Parts

The original Dodge Shadow convertible top material was Chrysler Sailcloth vinyl, a topping fabric with a canvas-like grain. We have this fabric top for the Dodge Shadow in all original Shadow colors and optionally other colors as well.

The Dodge Shadow convertible top installs with staples, glue and screws. There is no sewing. It is a candidate for self-installation. We offer an illustrated step by step manual for removing and installing the Dodge Shadow convertible top.

We offer complete packages for the Dodge Shadow convertible restorer. The packages include hold down cables, tack strips, pads, the convertible top and the Dodge Shadow convertible installation manual.

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.
