Convertible Top Restoration and Install

There's an old saying we've all heard before that goes "When the top goes down the price goes up." Of all the projects involved with the restoration of your collector car, few seem as challenging or confusing as addressing the convertible top. Due to the continuous evolution of the hardware and fabric covering you for those "not-so-nice conditions," it's hard to find information addressing your specific model. Fred Mattson, author of Automotive Upholstery and Interior Restoration, delivers this compilation on restoring or repairing all convertible tops. Step-by-step photo sequencing walks you through convertible top applications for Corvettes, retractable hard tops, scissors tops, manual tops, power tops, and your modern convertible. Fred addresses the weather seals, well liners, hydraulic/electrical systems, adjustments, materials, and pads. No other book ever produced on convertible tops goes into this much depth of coverage.

With this book covering your convertible top repair/restoration in an easy-to-read how-to format, there should be no reason to fear taking your drop top out with the threat of rain. Convertible Top Replacement, Restoration & Installation will be the one tool that will remind you how important a well-sorted top restoration is, not only for practical reasons, such as staying dry, but for cosmetic reasons as well.

Exista o veche zicala pe care am auzit-o cu totii inainte: „Cand varful coboara, pretul creste”. Dintre toate proiectele implicate in restaurarea masinii dvs. de colectie, putine par la fel de provocatoare sau confuze ca abordarea topului convertibil. Datorita evolutiei continue a hardware-ului si a tesaturii care va acopera pentru acele „conditii nu atat de frumoase”, este greu sa gasiti informatii care sa abordeze modelul dvs. specific.
