The Chevrolet Camaro convertible first production year was 1967. After production of convertibles was temporarily suspended, Chevrolet Camaro convertibles were re-introduced in 1987 and made through 2002.

We have Camaro convertible tops for all of these years as well as other parts required for Camaro convertible top restoration. These include Camaro convertible top headliners, hold down cables, tacking strips, webbing, pads, installation manuals and other Camaro convertible top parts.

Buying a Camaro Convertible Top


Depending on the year of your Camaro convertible, you'll have different decisions to consider when purchasing a top. Here's a guide:

1967-1969 Camaro Convertible Tops: If you're in the market for a Camaro convertible top for cars produced between 1967 and 1969, you'll need to decide if you'd like a top in Haartz Pinpoint Vinyl or Stayfast Canvas. (See "Choosing Your Camaro Convertible Top Fabric" below.) You'll also pick a top with trim or without bottom trim along the rear window. Click here to see the difference. Ready to start shopping?

1994-2002 Camaro Convertible Tops: If you're purchasing a Camaro top for a car produced between 1994 and 2002, you'll need to decide if you'd like an Easy Install one-piece Camaro top, or the original two-piece Camaro top.

  • Easy Install Camaro Tops: Easy Install one-piece tops are ideal for budget-conscious buyers seeking a quality top at an economical price. We call it the "Easy Install" top because it eliminates the interface between the main top and the rear window section in the original two-piece design. The integrated (one piece) tops are now original equipment on new models. Aftermarket manufacturers are redesigning older tops to mimic this newer design.
  • Two-piece Camaro Tops: These class two-part tops are made from original dealer patterns. They come in two pieces: a main top section and a rear window section, which have to be integrated during installation. These tops cost slightly more than the comparable one-piece top, but the advantage of this top is that you can replace one piece of it, without having to splurge for a whole new top.

IROC-Z & Z 28 Tops: The IROC-Z convertible top is a one-piece top. This means that Camaro IROC-Z convertible top has an integrated rear window, making the IROC-Z soft top easy to install on your own. If you're patient and methodical, we believe you can install your own Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z convertible top and save hundreds of dollars on labor costs. Our IROC-Z installation manual -- our own published top install manual -- will hold your hand through the entire process. (It's free with an IROC-Z convertible top purchase.)

Choosing Your Camaro Convertible Top Fabric

Most Camaro convertible tops come in either Haartz Pinpoint Vinyl or Haartz Stayfast Canvas. Here's what you need to know about each before you make a purchase:
Haartz Pinpoint Vinyl: Haartz Pinpoint Vinyl is a two-ply composite with a PVC outer layer and a cotton inner lining. Pinpoint refers to the little dots on the vinyl surface. The original Chevrolet Camaro convertible top was made of Haartz Pinpoint Vinyl. Haartz Pinpoint Vinyl is a popular convertible top fabric. In fact, this fabric is original to most American cars made before 1993. If you take care of a Haartz Pinpoint Vinyl Camaro top, it can easily last 10 years.

Haartz Stayfast Canvas: If you're looking to upgrade your vinyl Camaro top, consider a convertible top made of Haartz Stayfast Canvas. This fabric is the American substitute for the German canvases used in Mercedes, Porsche, BMW, as well as some Mustang and Lebaron models. 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. This canvas is a little richer looking than the vinyl. It's also a little harder to clean. Stayfast Canvas has both better static and dynamic wear ratings than vinyl tops.

Camaro 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.
