Toyota Paseo Convertible Tops and Convertible Top Parts

The Toyota Paseo Convertible Top and Convertible Top Parts

The Toyota Paseo convertible was made from 1996 until 1998. The sporty, compact car was originally based on the Toyota Tercel. The Toyota Paseo convertible top originally came in Chrysler Sailcloth Vinyl and was almost always black.

The Paseo top is a two-part top, which means the rear window, which comes in glass or plastic, has to be integrated into the main top during installation. If you're a handy person, then we believe you're capable of installing the Paseo soft top yourself.

We offer the Paseo top alone, but if you're interested in saving money consider one of our Best Buy Toyota Paseo convertible top packages, which include the original Paseo top and everything you need to install it. Ready to start shopping? Click on a link at the right.

Choosing Your Paseo Top
We offer the Toyota Paseo soft top in two durable convertible top fabrics. Here's what you need to know about each before making a purchase:
Chrysler Sailcloth Vinyl: Featured on many late LeBarons, Sebrings, certain Mustangs and other cars, Chrysler Sailcloth Vinyl is a two-ply material made up of a PVC outer layer and a polyester/cotton inner lining. (In terms of durability, it's very similar to Haartz Pinpoint Vinyl but with a different surface grain.) Sailcloth's surface grain is designed to look like canvas. It is an exceptionally rich looking, durable vinyl, and it comes in a variety of colors.

Haartz Stayfast Canvas: Looking to upgrade your vinyl top? Consider a Paseo top in Haartz Stayfast Canvas. The American substitute for the elegant German canvases used in Mercedes, Porsche, and BMW, Haartz Stayfast Canvas is a three-ply composite material made of an acrylic square weave outer fabric, a butyl rubber core, and a cotton lining. The butyl rubber core promises to make Haartz Stayfast Canvas last a very long time. On the upside, it's a little richer looking than vinyl. The downside? It's also harder to clean. Stayfast Canvas has both better static and dynamic wear ratings than vinyl tops.

Can I Install the Toyota Paseo Convertible Top Myself?

If you can use an air-driven staple gun and are patient and methodical, you are very likely to be able to install the Toyota Paseo convertible top. Installing your own Toyota Paseo convertible top can save you hundreds of dollars in restoration labor costs!

To help you install your own Toyota Paseo convertible top, we offer a profusely illustrated convertible top manual, now in its fourth edition. This covers, in detail, all the steps for do-it-yourself convertible top installation. In particular, the manual applies to cars, like the Toyota Paseo, with a two-part convertible top. You may purchase the manual to review it before purchasing a convertible top package. (We would then pro-rate future purchase of the convertible top when it is ordered.)

In most cases, our convertible top packages include everything you need to install your own Toyota Paseo convertible top. (Convertible top frame seals must be ordered separately if required.)

There is no sewing involved in installing a two-part convertible top, but you will have to be comfortable with a staple gun, manipulating convertible-top fabric, and applying contact cement.
