HI HAS ANYONE HAD THE PLEASURE OF INSTALLING A VINYL ROOF AS A NEW INSTALLATION? I GATHER THE ONLY MOULDING USED IS THE ONE FROM THE SIDE WINDOW TO THE REAR WINDOW MOULDING. HOW ARE THE MOULDING BASE CLIPS ATTACHED, AND ARE THEY AVAILABLE ANYWHERE? ARE THE REGULAR WINDOW MOULDINGS USED,FRONT AND BACK? IS THE VINYL FIT UNDER THE SIDE DRIP MOULDING, OR JUST TO ITS EDGE? IS THERE A GOOD SOURCE OF VINLY ROOF KITS AVAILABLE? NAME OF MANUFACTURER WOULD BE HELPFUL. TYPE OF ADHESIVE TO BE USED? ANY OTHER INFO CONCERNING THIS INSTALLATION WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED

I’m in the process of searching for a replacement vinyl top for my 67. I’ve only found two places: SMS and USA Parts Supply. Both say they can match the original black levant material. I haven’t removed my original top yet so I don’t know about the C pillar molding clips. The top tucks under the side drip rail moldings (the moldings are installed over the top material). I’m probably going to have mine installed by a shop. Steve

In all likelihood, USA Parts buys its fabric from SMS. That was the case with some Cadillac upholstery they sell.
