Gents,

In process of rebuilding a hardtop and need a few pointers:

when replacing side glass which rivets do you drill out and remove to replace glass?

what insulator should be used under headliner? foam?

what is best lubricant to help slide on new mouldings? water? Silicone?


Where do you get extra metal c clips that hold on to headliner?

thanks

Frank

I just was ordering some parts from Sunbeam Specialities. Since they sell headliners I was curious if they also sold the clips. They in fact do sell them, although I do not see them listed in the online catalogue. It is their part number IP86 if you are still looking for them.

Sorry I cannot help with any of your other questions, you are way ahead of me in this rebuild process!

Cheers,

Gene

I use Vaseline to install rubber bits on glass or metal, or using a vinyl conditioner works. Concerning foams, I would go to an auto upholstery shop and see what they use. The more dense the heavier. The glue is also a biggie.
