Whats the procedure for removing vinyl top?
Permalink  

Hi
I was wondering what would be needed and instructions for removing a vinyl top, can you make the car just a regular hard top or would you have to put new vinyl over the roof?

thanks

Vinyl tops often hide a lot of rust. You can make the car a regular hardtop but after stripping the vinyl there will be a lot of body work to do. What year and model is it?

68 Riv is a car to respect. One of the General's finest and a big part of the BOP appeal, welcome!

Right now I can buy a 69 Riv with a 430, California car, for a very good price. I'm tempted but I don't have the space: 8 garage spaces and 8 cars to fill them
