C-1 Convertible Top
I just wanted to show off my top. It took some time but with the Al Knoch video and a few calls to him, I finished it.
If anyone is interested in doing it don't hesitate to email me.
I would recommend his top and video to anyone who is going to do
it themselves.

Re: C-1 Convertible Top (plaidside)
Hey It looks great.
I'm going to tackle this job in the next few months. Is there anything that the video missed that I should know about?????

Re: C-1 Convertible Top (62fuelie)
His video was excellent. I borrowed one of the TV/VCR combos and put it in the garage while I was doing it so I could always refer to it.
The only thing I changed was the foam that he put in the pads. I installed the pads and then the top, but when I stretched the top there where large bumps at the rear of the pads where it is sewn.
I removed the front part of the top and removed his thin foam pading and replaced it with jute like it shows in the video. It looks much better.
