Help! Fabric/Canvas T-top cover

[kimmer]

I have a heavy fabric / canvas top that came with some other parts off of a C3. It is missing a piece of hardware. I was trying to find out what these are called so I could replace the missing piece, if I can find out who makes them.

Thanks for any help anyone can give! Kim

It appears to be something you would use in place of t-tops. It folds up and has a bag to stow it is

It's aftermarket. Check the major parts suppliers and see what they have listed in their catalogues. You may find a picture of your top.

Post a picture of what you have and what's missing. The canvas tops are aftermarket but depending on what is missing, you might be able to use a stock part

I would try and find the manufacturer and see if they can send you a replacement

Kimmer, are you talking about a storage bag for the tops when they're not on the car?

No this is a heavy fabric like convertible tops are made of that folds up accordian style and fits in its own bag.

These tops were produced in the early 1980s. They were patented. You see them on EBay from time-to-time. I forget the name of the company. They are vinyl not canvas so must be different from the ones in question.

Compared to the velcro versions of today they have factory-style mounting brackets and pins, just like a t-top. I have no idea where you can find parts. The company is long gone.

They do fold up and are quite compact.

Paul:

Those are the AM Tops manufactured in MI. I have a set, and love them.

Glen,
You jogged my memory. Yes they are AM. At one point I had the sales brochure. I sold that 1979 L-82 to my younger brother in 2003 and he still has those tops. I had fiberglass, smoked glass, and those tops. They were great for shows where the possibility of rain was 60% and showers arrived. They popped on in minutes. And they were stable at highway speeds. I am not familiar with the new velcro versions.

Both cars (1979 and 1974) are still on the road and enjoyed.
