I'd go with the Stayfast Canvas with glass window from Topsonline. They are worth every penny, well made top.

Re: 1989 IROC Z convertible

Post a picture when you get the top. Did you get a plastic or glass window?

There was a Thread about that. As I recall, it involved installing a later model year frame assembly. Anyone else? Too much work for me to consider.

Re: 1989 IROC Z convertible

You mean the headliner? I'm gonna find out, I've got one out of another 89.Mine doesn't have it, but I read on here the only diff between 89-90 is the headliner. When I removed the one I have from an 89 camaro the frame looked identical to mine...we'll see.
