Hi All,
I just purchased a convertible top on craigslist that was made back in the 1980s but never installed...I have a SV but this top was designed for a SIV so it does not have the velcro on the top...How should I make this top work? Would it be easier to buy velcro strips with the glue backing and just attach that to the top so it will work with my SV or should I convert the other way...
I am planning on installing this top myself but have never done anything like this...I found an installation thread on the AE/TE website which seems to be pretty thorough... here is the link if anyone cares to look at it
http://teae.org/on-the-installation-of-a-convertible-top/
Are there other installation woes I need to think about...when I got the car the PO had removed the top and left the frame in place with other parts set in a bucket...I appear to be about 10 metal screws short so I hope I can find these at home depot for SS does not seem to have these for sale.
Thanks for any help.
Eric
