QUOTE (njccmd2002 @ Jun 26, 2012 - 7:35 PM)  easier way is to get from a wrecked vert, i replaced the whole thing. convertibletopmotors.com is another place ive heard Thanks for the suggestion. It is much easier to replace the entire top and frame as one assembly (Topster told me so  ). The only problem is that with the tops that are available from wreckers is that they are already at least 15 years old and there are none that I have been able to find in the tan color I want to replace mine with that are in decent condition.I'll probably go with buying a Haartz Stayfast Canvas top from Robbins and have Topster deal with the headache of installing it. I'll post some before and after photos for inspiration! Regards, Cynthia. |

QUOTE (celicalibre @ Jun 25, 2012 - 11:48 AM) Cynthia, Have you someone you have confidence in to install a top? It is significant undertaking. Might be worthwhile to obtain a quote from a business specializing in providing a top and installation. At least you will have one entity responsible for a quality solution. Top installation steps: http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showto...convertible+top Keep us posted how it turns out for you. ________________________________ QUOTE (celicacynthia @ Jun 23, 2012 - 9:57 PM) I'd appreciate any information about the best convertible top canvas manufacturer. I have a green 97 with a ratty beige convertible top and I'm looking to DIY a replacement. Looking for the best.......I only want to do this once! Cynthia Thanks for the response. I do have someone who can install the convertible top for me... In fact, in Porsche Boxster circles, they call him "Topster" because he is a whiz at convertible tops. My problem is that I don't have any information on the best quality canvas tops for Celicas. I'm only looking to replace the canvas, not the entire top and frame assembly. I also don't know which of the manufacturers have the best reputation. Hopefully someone else will chime in... I can't be the first one to be replacing the canvas on our beloved 6GC's!  Regards, Cynthia. |
