Title: 1969 Camaro Vinyl Top
Post by: Driveway_finds on December 29, 2019, 05:32:07 PM
Does anyone know what the best quality vinyl top is on the market? Looking to replace mine and want to know which one to get? Thank you!

Previously I would've said Kee Auto Tops but after seeing one installed I won't say that. Their seams are in the wrong place on the part below the back window. I was going to order a semi custom top from them unless somebody come up with a better answer...Joe

^^ Is this still a problem in Sourcing 67-69 V top replacements?

I ended up ordering a top from SMS in Canby Oregon. They make it to your specs. Mine was sent to me using NOS vinyl. It's the valance that is the problem mostly. The outside edge of the seam lines up with the inside edge of the stainless window trim...Joe
