Yeah thanks for the comment and viewing my video. I appreciate it

Thank you. Thanks for watching and commenting

I put some heat on the vinyl with a heat gun to stretch it. Then tuck it

So you just apply your adhesive and stretch and tuck it behind the plastic on the rear window any tips like starting from the front starting from the back in the middle

Did u tuck the rear 1st? Or was that the last step?

Cool. Yeah they are good looking cars and still popular to this day.

@@66Gordo yes sir G Bodys are my favorite and my Dad had G Bodys before. Born and raised by G Bodys

Thank you. Appreciate it

Work smarter not harder. Lol thanks for watching, commenting, and supporting my channel

@@66GordoI dont care who did it I wanna know where and how much? I have a 90 el dorado touring coupe my lifted and ripped off on the highway. not sure if I should buy a new vinyl top or try to do it myself/ have someone else do it

I'd find a upholstery shop in your area. Ask them how much they'd charge then decide from there.

Thank you. Appreciate the comment and view

I understand. I sometimes start taping. Then forget to restart it and end up missing parts. I'll try to remember when I video some others.

I believe it was 1/4 inch foam. I just basically used what was on there before. Thanks for watching and commenting

I'm in Nebraska. Thanks for watching and commenting

@@66Gordo Thank you. If the vinyl is glued down I thought of initially using a heat gun to help get the vinyl off then maybe Goo Gone and/or an eraser wheel to get the rest to preserve the paint; your thoughts would be appreciated.

You can try and googling the year and make. It should pop up

Hey thanks for the comment and checking out the video.

You can get the foam at any upholstery supply shop. It's called Landau foam. Thanks for the comment

The trim should slide on the grooves of the clips.

Yeah I believe I found them online. I'd google them see what comes up. Thanks for watching and commenting

Cool. Hopefully it's all good under there. Thanks for watching

Lol. Thanks. It's some work but not bad. Yeah If I was out there I'd do it. Thanks for watching, commenting, and supporting my channel

@@66Gordo no problem thanks for making the video I actually just tore the vinyl top off my car just to see what it looked like underneath top came off easily but the sides didn't I'm gonna study your video and try to do it myself any suggestions

Yeah just clean it up real good underneath and try to keep that old one if it's in good shape for the pattern for the new one. Did you take out the side windows?

Thanks. Cool. Just take your time. Western part of Nebraska

I'm not sure what piece you are talking about but if you can't fix it just Google it or look at ebay and see if you can get another piece. Or try a junkyard

Thanks. I use the Weldwood Landau top adhesive. Thanks for watching and commenting

@@66Gordo thx. I just went to Amazon and ordered some. Looking for the vinyl right now. I’m in Az, so it has to be durable.

Oh good. Yeah don't buy no cheap stuff

Used a marine grade viynl and closed cell foam.

I dont know if you saw my other video titled" Buick regal with a viynl top back window area explained " it might answer your questions

Thanks!! Appreciate the comment

Thanks for watching and commenting. I would definitely do it if I was closer

Thanks. Appreciate the view and comment

@@66Gordo Welcome Brother 👍

Yeah I hear you. I would but alot of my videos it's just me filming and to hold the camera and do the work is pretty much impossible. Thanks for watching and commenting

You think he would have trimmed it down so it wouldn't be sticking out the side. You might want to check the clips on the trim and see if any are broke. They become brittle and he may have broken a couple while taken them off. That would make it not be secure completely. Just a thought. Thanks for watching and commenting

Yeah I was thinking that, on that note he did let me know that the corner trim clips did break. So he pretty much drilled them in to stay sturdy. I might just purchase a new set and install them in myself. Do you think I should slit the vinyl with a razor that way it cuts off literally at the trims so that the vinyl isn't under the trim?

I'm in Nebraska

I got the viynl from Albright and used closed cell foam. Thanks for watching and commenting

Dope!! Can you do my monte Carlo??

@@66Gordo was there a special place to buy the closed cell foam from

Thanks. Thanks for watching and the nice comment.

How do i remove the plastic holding the top down around the back window without braking it

I guess if you are looking to remove the vinyl top it might be. It's is a little bit of work to do it but not real bad. Thanks for watching and commenting

If you mean to remove the vinyl roof and make it a hardtop, you need more then just grinding rivets off. You’ll need the rear window trim from a non vinyl roof car, quarter glass from non vinyl roof car, you’ll need to remove the rear glass and add rivets on the inside lip for plastic pieces that mount your hard top rear window trim. Plus fix all the imperfect seams that the factory didn’t make pretty. It’s a lot of work.

This car had black landau foam under the viynl when I took it of. The quarter windows had black sealant around them when they came out. Hope that answered your question

@@66Gordo thanks alot

You can get it from any auto upholstery shop. Thanks for the comment

I'm in Nebraska and I don't really make any quotes without seeing what I'm working on first.

I think I ordered 2 or 3 yards. It's one piece of material. No sewing on it.

The vinyl is tucked and glued down under those windows. If you're gonna replace the top it needs to be tucked back under there again. It's kind of a pain but it's the best way to do it. Thanks for watching and commenting. Hope it helped

I would try looking on ebay see if you could find someone selling a set of the trim. Thanks for watching and commenting

Yeah you should be able to do it.

I'd get it painted first but would make sure you check under the top for holes or rust. That way you can get it done while it's getting painted

My personal opinion

@@66Gordo thank you sir

You can get the vinyl at any upholstery supply store. Use marine grade so it can stand the weather and sun. This one is just one piece. Use the old one as a pattern when you take it off if you can

No I don't at this time. Thanks for watching and commenting

I'd good it or try ebay. They should pop up and they shouldn't be that expensive for the plastic clio

I'm not sure on that. I don't wanna give you the wrong information.

@@66Gordo ok I'm trying to just convert my vinyl top to hard top but need hardtop quarter glass to make it work

@@dpk3144 look at pictures of each type of Gbody and you can clearly tell the cutlass quarter windows look nothing like a regal. The only Gbodies with the same shape quarter glass is a Monte Carlo and a Grand Prix depending on year.

Weldwood contact adhesive is what I used. Thanks for watching, commenting, and supporting my channel

Hey I'm in Nebraska

I believe that was $400

Depends i got quote from 500-1500 if u have material its cheaper u can get the vynil from joanns fabric

Did you mean the trim? On top? Usually you can slide it off or else pry one of the sides. Lots of times the plastic pieces holding the trim on may be brittle so becareful but you Usually end up breaking one or two. You can buy new ones though. Hopefully that helps

@@66Gordo yea on the top on the driver's side is lose while the other side tight. When I'm on freeway by the quarter window the trim it rattles and it wasn't like that before. How much clips should I buy or would I replace all of them?

I can't remember if they sell them single or by the set. You probably have a broken one under there causing it to be lose. I'd buy a few if they sell them individually just to have some extras

@@66Gordo thank you for sharing your knowledge bro 🙏🏻. I will buy a couple of them

Yeah no problem. Thanks for watching and commenting on my channel

This isn't my car. I did the top only.

It's personal preference really.

@@66Gordo that’s true. But do you know the cons and pros for each?? I heard the cloth one lasts a lot longer.

Some people like the viynl cause it's easier to clean and repels elements somewhat better. It is harder to repair and will likely need replaced if it rips or tears though. Cloth absorbs dirt or other elements but can usually be repaired instead of replaced. Both usually last by how they are treated and the elements they are in. If they are taken care of and garaged they last awhile.

I dont remember if it was 1/8 or 1/4 in foam.

Thanks I am literally in the same boat right now I will be redoing my top in canvas material but wanna have the stock padded look I'm on the look put for the right size dont wanna mess it up 🤔

You won't. Either will be fine.

Thanks man I appreciate it

I'm in Nebraska

@@66Gordo ok thanks
