    installation of convert top 63 dart

    yes that's where it crosses over. sometime you have to do a bit more to get a clean transition and look when the top is up. each top and car are a bit different in measurements.

    mine was uncut in this section and I had to make that cut upwards to the quarter panel (green line) mine was long and I had to trim it to fit like that picture (and a tiny bit more after I stretched the top and sail panels into place .)

    65 valiant top. Top seems to small. Normal?

    it is supposed to be on that bottom corner, that is so when you drop the top that part can bend with the top and flex. It should be free and not anchored to the trim also, about 3-6 inches or 2nd or 3rd screw depending on the brand of the early A ,darts are a deeper cut that valiants) tucks...

    63-66 convertible header seal retainer.

    I get mine made by a company in texas,it's what they do. I send them the schematics and color coding plus the male,female configuration and they make my LED (2 to 4) conversion harness for my 66's. It was cheaper than getting a steel mold made and about 100 less than an aluminum one

    63-66 convertible header seal retainer.

    I have a small tiny homemade one and I am in the process of working with a company that has a larger one but so far it's still too high in costs for me to reproduce part with them.

    63-66 convertible header seal retainer.

    nope. it's all hand designed and the molds are made on the CNC. I'm trying to make a "close" to original part as I can. 3d (unless it's high end 3d resin or metal deposition just isn't good enough to be reliable)just doesn't work for me. now I can send it to shapeways, but then each part...

    What's the Latest in Temporary Repairs for Torn/Ripped Top?

    Try eternabond tape. raise the top on a nice hot day and pull it together as close as you can, then apply eternabond tape to it, I've seen it last a year or 2 but it sure does look ugly.

    Seal her up!?

    nothing goes into that top area except a small thin piece of foam tape to stop that latch part of the trim, the visor brackets and the center molding what seal the top is the header seal on the convertible top itself by putting that seal inside there you created a massive whistle and air leak
