Ok ,i know this is going to sound stupid,but my question is, i see alot of talk about liners when people refer to convertible tops.i have had my vert for 9 years now,and yes i need to replace the top,the liner does it cover the whole under side of the top ? mine just has two wide canvas strips on each side.Is this the liner everyone talks about ,or is my car missing it? believe it or not i have never actually looked at another vert while the top was up.Thanks in advance for your help.

 

I believe they started putting the liner in these convertibles in either 1989 or 1990. I have a '90 and my car came with one. It covers the entire underside of the connvertible top .

 

that would explain it since mine is an 87,thanks for the info.

 

89's dont have it.

 

They started putting the liners in in '90. Needless to say, when I saw that, I was a little upset being that my '89 didn't come with one! . From what I understand, the top frame structure was changed a little in '90 also, maybe to accomidate the extra material??

 

so this is probably where the different measurements come from when ordering a replacement top,i know you have two areas you have to measure,so you get the right top.thanks ,you guys have been very informative.

 

i wanna see a pic of a convertible top with the headliner

 

Can you install a standard headliner from a with one to one that didn't come with one is the good question. I would really like to add one to my car and make the inside look nicer with the top up.

 

thats a good question,be nice to know if anyone has done it ,or if it can be done.i am thinking the inside of the tops the bows and stuff might be a little different on the cars that came with the liners.

 

There isn't really that much to the headliner itself. There are a couple of U shaped plastic pieces that you would probably have to get from a junked vert, but with most of the parts you could probably just take measurements and make one on your own.

 

my 92 RS vert came with factory headliner. will get pics when my garage gets a little warmer. next couple of days. later
