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 can wait, :D I haven't even ordered a top yet, BTW, who did you order your top from?

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!

Re: Convertible top installation tape? (flynhi)
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...

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 ?

Re: Convertible top installation tape? (WESCH)
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.
