Looking for C3 Soft top replacement video
Hey all,
I have read that there is a video floating around on how to replace a soft top on a C3 Corvette. I am looking to replace mine and would love to watch the video.
Does anyone know where I might acquire a copy?
Thanks in advance!
Scott

Thanks for all the quick replies!
Here is what I have going,
I have a very nice soft top on my car already. Sadly, what looks like the main bow supporting just above the rear window has broken. I suspect a good welder could fix it bit the vinyl would have to come off ( I guess).
If the vinyl must come off then I need to replace it. Welding is not a skill I posses.
Over the weekend I was surfing and found a 1969 convertible soft top COMPLETE for sale. It was folded up and stored for over 30 years in a garage. The frame looks great and it has the latches, plastic inner front piece, etc etc. Only thing it is missing is the rear pins themselves. The chrome holders are there but the pins are gone. I figure I could redo my new to me top and take my time doing it!
I appreciate all the quick responses!
