That’s one job I’m going to leave to the experts! It scares meConvertible top install, Has anyone bought one of the tops from convertible top guys and installed it them selfs?
Yes, I bought from them and installed it myself. Are you putting on the car in your avatar? Mine was a 68 Dart which is much more difficult because of the two rear corner points and a glass rear window. There are many Youtube videos and the instruction book they send you is very helpful. A car that age will probably need new tacking strips. Most important, mark the centers on your rear bow, the body where the top meets at in front of the trunk, the front and rear of the new top and the header.
I did it last year on my 65 Valiant. It worked out not bad but I did not have the old top. If you can use the old one to match up it would be easier. I have looked at some cars at car shows and they are no better than mine is some cases. If you take your time and follow the instructions you should be O.K.Convertible top install, Has anyone bought one of the tops from convertible top guys and installed it them selfs?
