Default Convertible top installation tape?

Does anyone have a copy they would like to sell? Or does anyone know who sells it retail. I've checked several vendor websites and haven't found one.

I have one that I'm going to sell when I'm done with it in 2 months - if you can wait until then.

The guy I got my car from gave it to me in a box, so I have no idea where he got it from. The video is great though - makes it look very easy!

Mark your calendar to email me in 8 weeks. Car should be back from paint by then, and I can do the install.

I bought it used here on the forum, so I'll sell it to you for what I paid for it.

Sounds like a plan to me! I've set myself a reminder with your information!

No Problem Will, I am getting anxious already. I was waxing the car this weekend and my wife told me, "It's beautiful, except for that nasty white top, why don't you replace it with a black one?" That was enough incentive for me to start a project. :D Tops are cheap, installation is expensive. A local guy wanted $350.00 just to install. Since a new top only cost $150-160, I can mess one up and still be cheaper than paying him to do it.
Chuck Gongloff replaced his last year, and used a video and said it went very smooth.

Convertible top installation is pretty easy... I didn't need a video and already installed 2 convertible tops...

:cheers:

Hi
I'm very sure I saw the video in the ECKLERS catalogue.
I also installed the top from ZIP without the video's help on my 68
Went OK except for the window is not very slick .
Only visible from the outside, OK from inside, no vision distortion.
How is all others window coming out ?

My current top's window has some waves in it too. It seems to me that it is the nature of plastic rear windows to be uneven.
