Chevrolet Corvette Convertible Tops and Convertible Top Parts
Corvette Top Fabric:
The Chevrolet Corvette
convertible top fabric was originally pinpoint vinyl for the
fifties and sixties Chevy Corvettes. Later Corvettes included Targa
tops. Our Corvette tops are for the convertible soft top
replacement.
Late model Corvette convertibles used Chrysler sailcloth vinyl and also canvas as the dealer top fabric on original convertible soft tops.
About Corvette Top Fabrics:
Replacement Corvette tops, made to original patterns, are available
in all original fabrics. Soft top fabrics are described in the
'Help' section of our home page.
Installing Your Corvette Top:
Full restoration of Corvette convertibles is very widespread as
Corvette Sting Rays and other Corvette convertibles are now
classics. The Corvette convertible top can be installed by the
do-it-yourself owner if a good convertible top installation manual
is available (and we supply the top install manual where
available.) The use of an air staple gun or our heavy duty electric
stapler to affix top sections to convertible top frame tacking
strips is required in some model years. The alignment and
attachment of convertible top fabric sections to top frame sections
is also usual. This is done with contact cement and we do offer the
HH-66 convertible top contact cement (which you will find under
'accessories.'
For cars with hydraulic systems we list convertible top motor pumps, a motor rebuild service and other tools and accessories for the convertible top owner/installer.
