I am working on an 89 GT convertible that needs a new canvas top and frame. Can anyone help me out with some info on how to do this? I am attaching some pics of the curent condition and attachment points. The car is not mine, I am only working on it to help out a service member who is currently overseas. Thanks in advance!

Ed

If you're replacing the entire thing with another complete unit, its really really easy.

My friend and I swapped his white top for a black one, in less than an hour, NOT KNOWING what we were doing! Then again, we had Miller High Life in our blood, and our mullets were wagging in the wind...

Thats the answer i was hoping for! The plan is to find a donor car and just swap out the whole thing. Thanks for the response!

Would you be so kind as to give me that link? You can never have too much info when you have a vert.

Since this thread is archaic at >10 years old and that member hasn't been seen online here in >6 years, I'm going to guess you're on your own. You could post your own thread in the appropriate section looking for a link. Or I believe someone has a video on YouTube, but it's been a while since I searched, you would probably have some good luck finding something there.

I’ve posted my own thread, and searched YouTube. Seems there isn’t a lot of 94-95 convertible owners that post photos or updates to their fixes
