Leeedy- Thanks for your prior posts regarding your earlier efforts to replace the top. Big help.
When I began restoration of the Caribbean, I had no idea that the color matched top was not accomplished with a headliner. I knew the inner surface matched the interior color but the few that I observed had utilized a top from Keppich or used the same technique. I guess this would work for show presentation, but it really does not work well if you opt to lower the tops-- it wrinkles badly and is really a difficult installation.
I have forwarded some shots to Big Kev which I hope he will post for review. I continue to have difficulty getting photos to load to the site.....most likely due to my computer illiteracy.
I am not 100% satisfied with the installation but it is adequate for a car that will be driven with the top down.
Thanks again.
