Re: C4 Convertible Soft Top Replacement

[Douglas C.]

Hi,

Last Spring I purchased a '94 Convertible. I need to replace the original white vinyl soft top and was wondering if it might be possible to
have the original glass rear window re-selaed in a new vinyl top.

I'm assuming the original window is date-coded and would want to maintain the orignality.

So - I would be looking for someone to possibly make a new top - minus the glass, and have the installer re-seal my original rear window.

I believe these were originally heat-sealed. . The glass is in good shape, just the top needs replacing.

Any one ever done anything like this or know if this is even possible?

Thanks,

--Doug

Re: C4 Convertible Soft Top Replacement

Douglas, the answer to your question is yes. You can purchase a replacement top without the rear window and have an installer who has the machine to seal your original window into it. Not every installer has this capability, so you may have to shop around. Al Knock Interiors can do this for you if you remove your top and send it to them. They can install your rear window on there convertible top and ship it back to you so a local installer can place it on your car. I love the color of your car. Congratulations. And yes, you definitely want to keep your original rear window.

Doug, let me know how it goes. They do good work and their hardware is good, but you have to be a little patient with their customer service. Best to ask for Mellonie. Here is a pciture of some seats they did for my 95.
