I have just glued the foam (closed cell) on my 1988 Brougham and it's great but the glue stick quick and does not allow for readjustment. What is the right way to apply the Weldwood contact cement and be able to manage the vinyl top in place before pressing it down? This video doesn't explain that point.
@garylamont89816 күн бұрын
Mark a centerline on the top and Mark centerline on the vehicle glue the top first place the top on the center line. I flip over the top halfway put just a small amount of glue just in the center area. Set your centerline then glue each side separate from there.

An old trick that works when using contact cement to give you time to play around a bit is to place waxed paper sheets between the two surfaces. Contact cement will not stick to waxed paper so you can pull it out in strips one at a time and get you foam straight before pressing it down. Work slowly and in increments that you can handle and you should do alright.

I have a question about removing the aluminum strips across the top and up the B panel. Can you provide assistance with that? Nothing on KZfaq shows the removal of those strips can you talk me through it? I love that blue top on the white with the seams.

They are on with clips I unclip the side first I push the molding to the side then use a plastic stick to unclip them once the sides are loose I normally pull them straight towards me and slide them off be careful those clips break really easy
@garylamont8983 ай бұрын
If you can’t find them in a junk yard you have to make them I use fiberglass shower board and silicone around the outer edge stick it right to the window I have made many custom tops that lasted for years that way you just have to pad it up a little more and shape it

Thanks, started freaking out since my thoughts were there is no reason it should be leaking assuming competent QC at factory. Therefore, was worried maybe its burning off coolant. Scary for a brand new 2023. Going to rip it apart today and see if this is the cause.

I've always loved vehicles with vinyl tops and to watch this man work with over 40 + years of experience is so gratifying. He has a true talent and takes a ton of pride in his work. Awesome video.

the part none of the videos show is when they make the cuts for the side dome lights like on a 67 impala. I'm assuming the cut has to be big enough for the light to come through? do you have a video showing how to do that part?

I think those are pretty easy but just every headliner is hard on the body. Reaching up is always hard. a steamer does wonders with the smaller wrinkles. if you have any.
