Experiences with top from classicindustries?

Hallo
I can not speak to Classic Ind's top just some pointers from my recent top replacement

  1. Get a sample of the top material before you buy
  2. I used Electron Tops from the NY area. (I had some issues but they were resolved to my satisfaction)
  3. The replacement glass curtain will most likely not have the proper curvature to the bottom of the glass to follow the body lines
  4. The supplied "New" cables broke during assy. I just reused the originals.
  5. The "Pad" material they supplied was nothing like the original in shape or construction
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. There are small acorn nuts on the back of the screws that hold the window seal channel to the top frame
  9. 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
