lastss Posted December 16, 2003 Author Share Posted December 16, 2003 Also would like seam to seam measurement. Thank's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejw71 Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 Lastss, It's approximately 43" between seams at front. Distance form seam to vinyl trim is different on each side, 3 1/2" to 4" front, 6 1/4" to 6 3/4" rear. Top on mine has been changed which may explain the difference. Guess it's close enough as never noticed it Suggestion: Make space between the seams 43" and center it on roof. Then distances from seams to vinyl trim on both sides would be equal.

lastss Posted December 19, 2003 Author Share Posted December 19, 2003 Thank's ED, I only had some bubbles around trim I think was caused by the vinyl top installer using a trim knife and damaged the paint. I stripped my whole car with stripper and that's the only rust. Got to love those Texas car's. I used por-15 then self etching primer, the 2k primer, then, then lacquer & clear-coat. All Dupont brand. All done except new top & re-install back window & trim.
