Trim going on.

[green69rt]

I was really nervous about tackling the top of my car but bit the bullet and went after it.  I used AkCharger's thread as  a guide and, I think, it turned out pretty good.  At least I'm happy with it.

No need to go into details since many have done good jobs before me.  Just some pics to show the result.

I have to say it was easier than I thought.  One little boo-boo but you will never find it and I'll never tell...

When you say screen, that's what we call the windshield and no.

[alfaitalia]

Correct! Screen or windscreen.

Came out great but curious as to the manufacturer of the top? Was it an older repro?

Got it during one of YO's sales.  It was $140.70 including shipping, just looked at the receipt.  Got free shipping and 30% off.  Hard to beat.

Nice job Mitch

Wow that looks great, very nice job! The A pillar are much cleaner looking without the seam! I might order the same vinyl top and sell my Legendary top with seam?

Good point! I'm glad some one notices these things!
I had no idea the factory vinyl had a seam that comes right down the a-pillar?

What seam?  I didn't know there might be one there.  Actually, the a-pillar was not bad, the worst part was the place where the a-pillar meets the roof and that funny place in the top of the windshield opening.  I worked on that a while.  I had to let the adhesive dry some before pushing it down.  The vinyl top does stretch some so you can push it into place but the adhesive has to be dry enough to hold it and not let it pop back out.  I did each section of the roof and edges and then waited about 15 minutes and pressed it back into place then waited 30 minutes and went over it again.  Again after an hour and again after another hour.  Finally pressed the last little bubbles in after a few hours, maybe 4.  I actually let it dry overnight and hit it again and seems to have made that last little difference.  I'll get some pics so you can see how I cut it.  Later.

 There is a seam at the top of the A pillar ( about 1 1/2" down from the top )where they added the vinyl leg for the A pillar. Its quite unsightly but apparently it's original on 68's and probably 69's,  I'll look for a picture if somebody else doesn't post one
