Volvo C70 Convertible Tops and Convertible Top Parts
The Volvo convertible C70 was a powerful and stable car with Volvo legendary safety features. The Volvo C70 Convertible may have been introduced to lure convertible shoppers away from Saab.
The Volvo C70 convertible top:
The Volvo C70 convertible top fabric was originally German
Sonnenland canvas. This convertible top fabric is the most durable
of all convertible top fabrics. This original Volvo convertible top
fabric is well imitated by less expensive and nearly as durable
substitute Volvo convertible top canvas fabrics, such as Haartz
Stayfast canvas.
Vinyl Tops for the Volvo C70:
The canvas Volvo tops may be less cost effective for your
convertible top replacement than a vinyl top ! Chrysler Sailcloth
vinyl is the original fabric used on Sebring and late model dealer
Mustang tops. You will see at our Volvo C70 convertible top page
that we offer custom made tops. Many of our Volvo convertible
restorers are opting for the less expensive vinyl fabric.If you
consider doing your own convertible top installation then you might
opt for the Chrysler Sailcloth version of the C70 replacement soft
top. We suggest this for the following reasons: (a)It's a great
convertible top fabric, original to Sebrings, Mustangs, etc. (b)You
will be able to do the labor every several years yourself. This
does diminish, slightly, the advantage in a slightly longer lasting
Sonnenland convertible top fabric.
We should add that our instruction manual is an exclusive one written for us. It has more explanatory features than our dvd or the official C70 shop manual.
Our Volvo C70 convertible top manual might be used along with the dvd for informing the self convertible top installer. Installing a Volvo C70 convertible top is well within the expected abilities of a handy patient person.
