Experiences with top from classicindustries?
Hallo
I can not speak to Classic Ind's top just some pointers from my recent top replacement
- Get a sample of the top material before you buy
- I used Electron Tops from the NY area. (I had some issues but they were resolved to my satisfaction)
- The replacement glass curtain will most likely not have the proper curvature to the bottom of the glass to follow the body lines
- The supplied "New" cables broke during assy. I just reused the originals.
- The "Pad" material they supplied was nothing like the original in shape or construction
- DO NOT Throw away your old top, glass, or door seals (if original), the glass can be used in a new curtain for more money. Also top can be used by an upholstery company to make a copy, might be cheaper with shipping costs etc. and the old seals might be better than the new replacements
- The rubber seal kit for the top where it meets the top of the A-pillar is NOT a rounded piece of material with round foam inside of it. 66 older seem to use this type. the seal has a profile that fits into a piece of metal that is screwed on to the front bow of the top. (I did not use this seal kit) Mopar A Body 67-69 Convertible Top Roof Rail & Header Weatherstrip Seal Set PREMIUM
- There are small acorn nuts on the back of the screws that hold the window seal channel to the top frame
- There are foam pads that go between the removable tack strip that is attached to the bottom part of the rear curtain that attaches to the body ( repos are available from Mopar A Body 67-69 Dart Convertible Top Foam Gasket Set) DMT only makes them in white, I have only seen the oem ones to be blackred arrow longer is better
blue arrow is the seal on the front header bow I was talking about
