first i would like to say i have searched the forum...
now on to the problem. i currently have a vert with a top that is tearing and is ready to go. I ran into a vert in a junk yard that looks like it has a brand new top on it. the question is the top skin removable on its own or since it is installed do i have to take the whole convertible structure?

 

F.S.M

It aint gonna read itself!

 

Would ya look at that. The service manual saves lives

 

I would strongly encourage you to purchase the entire structure. It's just a bunch of 10mm and a few larger nuts to remove and install, so can be done with standard tools. To install from scratch would require a more sophisticated skill set.

 

agreed

 

MUUUUUUUUUUCH EASIER TO BOLT IN!!! Take it from me! DO NOT try to just replace the skin. Unless it's brand new, ish ain't going back on right, period. It just wont. Make sure you have a 2nd pair of hands to help too!

 

Thank you all. 4 hours and 150$ later I am a proud owner of a 2 year tearless top.

 

Sweet! Can't wait to see pics

 

good job son!

 

a little dirty still but done

 

My old one was ripped to **** and I got a newer one from a Parts salvager half way across Canada.
