1949 Mercury Convertible Top and Convertible Top Parts
Cleaning & Protectant | Important Information
We are pleased to offer this convertible top made to original patterns. Our factory has been collecting original dealer tops since the thirties.
Manufacture of the Mercury was suspended during the war years, from 1942. The tooling and designs were applied to 1946-48 Mercury convertibles. Then, in 1949 the convertible was finally re-designed.
The original top fabric was canvas. Our Haartz Stayfast canvas is a modern convertible topping. Its butyl rubber center (core) provides very high durability..
Curtains: We can provide this top with a blank curtain or with a plastic (rear window) curtain. The blank curtain car is for those with access to a rear window frame and glass that can be mounted to the blank curtain. Plastic rear windows are made with a horseshoe zipper.
Haartz pinpoint vinyl is significantly less expensive and for some the fabric of choice.

We can offer a top boot for this convertible. We strongly recommed one of the modern boot vinyls. This is a leather grained vinyl with a slight elasticity making it perfect for boot usage. Boots are listed, with accessories, below.
Hydraulics:
We now stock hydraulic cylinders, motor-pumps, and hoses for your convertible tops. All are made to OEM specifications. Each can be ordered separately; however, when ordering hydraulic cylinders we recommend replacing both. The chances are that both hydraulic cylinders were manufactured at the same time: if one is on its way out the other may follow. If the top is raised and one hydraulic cylinder is working harder than the other the result over time can lead to a slightly bent convertible top frame. The replacement of both hydraulic cylinders will ensure that the top raises and lowers symmetrically.
Systems for this car take Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) and have a 5 year warranty when used with this fluid. Brake fluid should not be used as it voids the warranty. We also offer an installation manual when ordered.
The 12 volt motor-pumps include a mounting bracket with rubber grommets to reduce vibration.
We also offer a rebuilding service for motor-pumps. Not all are repairable, but it is less expensive to have one rebuilt than to buy a new one. The motor-pump would need to be sent to us for evaluation. Hoses come with all new fittings and are made specifically to fit your car.
We a now pleased to offer hydraulic cylinders, hydraulic motor pumps, and hydraulic hose sets. Also, checkout our newly added roof rail weatherstripping seals, front header weatherstripping seals, door weatherstripping seals, trunk weatherstripping seals. Look for extra savings on weatherstripping seals kits.
