Mercury Capri Convertible Tops and Convertible Top Parts

Capri Convertible Top variations:
There were essentially no changes to the Mercury Capri convertible top (Mercury Capri soft top)during these years. However there were two differing lengths for the soft top Capri hold down cables. Cables hold the sides of the top to the frame. Capri convertible top cables were slightly lengthened in 1992. Restorers can determine the cable length by measuring the side seam if the original soft convertible top is now on the car. Otherwise (if a prior replacement convertible top is on the Capri) you can measure the cable by "feel."

Original Mercury Capri Convertible top fabrics:
The Capri convertible soft tops were made of a "cabriolet vinyl" just like the Miatas and Volkswagens. The dealer Capri convertible tops were black or white. The same Capri convertible top fabric is available in other colors too and they can be viewed at our site.

Mercury Capri Convertible top installation:
