Convertible Top and Convertible Top Parts

                                                                                 

Lincoln Continental Convertible Tops Features:
  • Quality: Made to original specs, 100% fit guarantee.
  • Original Configuration: Top with zippered rear window. Molding for over rear window with chrome tips included. This is a classic two part top. Note: Lincoln produced a similar convertible from 1946-48, their model 76. That car had no rear mounted spare wheel.
  • Windows: We offer this top with either a plastic rear window or with a blank rear curtain. Both have horseshoe zippers. The blank rear curtain is double thickness fabric and intended for those with their own glass window units to install.
  • All seams are doubly electronically welded and sewn for added reinforcement. Convertible top fabrics are mildew & mold resistant, and UV treated for color fastness. Plastic windows are DOT rated heavy 40-gauge thick vinyl.
  • Original Fabrics: Haartz Stayfast Canvas in black or tan (both with black or tan underside) and light neutral. We also offer tops in Haartz Pinpoint Vinyl.
  • Installation: Professional installation is suggested. A handy and meticulous person may consider DIY installation. This comprises use of a stapling gun and contact cement (as described in the two part top manual summary in the link below.) Your top frame has wooden tacking bows (our manual covers bows with embedded plastic tacking strips.) There is no sewing involved. To locate a professional installer please enter "automobile upholstery shops near me" in your browser search bar.
  • Wood Bows: We have been making wood bows including those for 40s Fords and Lincolns for 46 years! Please inquire on time required to execute reproductions for your wood bows.More information shown at top descriptions.
  • Shop with confidence: Tops are made by EZ-On with 3 year manufacturer warranty and 18 month labor allowance.
  • Hydraulic Components: Hydraulic cylinders, motor pumps and hose sets all available and in stock.

New Edition!!!
Convertible Top Guys' "How To Remove and Install Classic Two-Part Tops."

This 40-page, extensively illustrated how-to manual walks you through removing and installing any two-part convertible top. The manual applies to almost all American convertibles made before the year 2004, and some foreign cars, too, like Celicas and Saabs. This 8 1/2 x 11 book is designed as both a tutorial for first-time installers and as a step-by-step manual for these convertible tops. Generally, all that is needed and not contained is the "bow height" which is the setting of the rear top frame bow for your convertible. This is available from any top distributor ot can be measured with the old top on the car (as illustrated.)

What skills are required ? (1) The ability to drive staples into bow frame tacking strips (2) The ability to orient fabric sections to the frame and apply with contact cement. (3) A systematic and careful personality ! (There is never any sewing required.)

Note: Very early cars (forties) had wood bows and installers will have to adjust processes for stapling to these bows instead of tacking strips in steel bows as described in manual.

Important Information

CONVERTIBLE TOP FABRICS
Almost all manufacturers use Haartz fabrics. They may specify "heaviest weight" or "original replacement" in ways that seem reassuring. But they do not really tell the whole story. Please bear in mind that two things dominate, by far, the quality issue: (a) the manufacturing quality control in the factory that makes the top and (b) the care and thoroughness of the installation. There is a trade-off in weight: heavier is better for resisting tear through, but lighter is better for flexibility and abrasion from within that may arise from movement. Almost all our tops are a flexible medium density (36 oz.) fabric. Heavier is not better in most cases. Where it is, because of the top design, we will say so and the top will be made of the heavier vinyl.
Warranties outlined here are only applicable for products installed by a professional trim shop or professional upholstery shop. For Convertible Tops, and related products, the manufacturer will void the warranty for any product that is not professionally installed; manufacturer defects are covered by the warranty in such cases. The manufacturer is not responsible for damage due to improper installation.
