Any product you like to use to remove glue and foam leftover ? I removed my '87 mc vinyl top, i suspected some rust between the window and quarter window. What a mess ... big hole each side. I tought previous owner half assed the body job before replacing the top but by rewatching your video its the same. The glue aint hard so sand paper will foul, thinner removes more paint than glue, methyl etyl works but it's far from magic.
I found a place that actually sells little tiny screws that you screw into the metal and the head of the screw looks exactly like those clip retainer studs. They are actually for doing this type of job so you can put the chrome trim on the vinyl deleted cars.
Great video! I had a 1985 Grand Prix a while back and I discovered the hard way that attempting to remove the vinyl top from one of these cars is totally NOT worth the effort. On average, a brand new top will only cost $200 to completely replace at an upholstery or restoration shop... a much more viable solution to a ragged, unsightly vinyl top.
I did this to my grand prix. The hardest part was removing the opera windows to get the vinyl out from behind them. I just cut the rivits off and used filler to hide the holes. I got the window trim off of a regal and just siliconed it to the glass. It looked factory after the new paint job.
I've often wondered about this delete process. I've never been a fan of vinyl roofs but it looks like it would be better to start off with a non VR G-body. I tell you what though, good deals on G-bodies are harder to come by. I've started looking around for a weekend project car and pickins are getting thin at least on a good solid G-body. The Regals are the most popular and expensive, I think a Cutlass is the way to go.
My first car a 1986 cutlass supreme. The issue is many people put so much money in they think they are entitled to get that back when selling... To me anything done to engine or suspension, tranny decreases value.. I want original. Lowering the car decreases value in my view... All these cars need is paint, rims, CD deck, maybe a nice steering wheel.. new apolstry.. Forget all that engine mods crap... no one ever cared the size of my engine or how fast it was.. in fact with cutty you drive slower.. just put new parts like original...
@@cxeroannuki2840 when I bought it came with nice smaller steering wheel. But the owner was not expecting more.. My buddy just found one in good condition, garage kept.. nice. I see him driving around town loving every minute of it.. I think g body are perhaps the best classic car to get body on frame, GM made many of them, more parts availability, engine bay is big and easy to work on, Pick them up while you can. Paint frame to avoid rusting..
Thank you! I got my 79 monte with out the vinyl top and the rivets still. Just got filler piece with out rivet and chrome window trim. I was thinking of siliconing in place little plastic tabs to hold the chrome on. Thanks for breaking it all down! Helps make sense!
Looking to remove the vinyl top off my 82 cutlass supreme, I had seen before but forget where I seen it but when they took the vinyl top off instead of finding the chrome trim they just reinstalled & painted the plastic that comes in the vinyl from the rear window, anyone else seen or heard of someone do the same? 🤔🤔
On my 1980 oldsmobile delta 88 royal brougham. I took the last vinyl rear top off .Left the chrome trim on across the top that use to hold it down.My plastic piece has broken in to pieces but i reinforced the back with the bondo wire mesh and built it up with fiberglass to get the vinyl top puffed up look you get when having a top tucked under the rear windshield plastic piece. Looks right .I had brought the chrome trim at one time but didn't fit right plus you had to add studs to hold the window clips in place also you had gaps at the corners.
I have an 85 Grand Marquis and want to do a paintjob, but it wouldn't look too good unless I also fix the vinyl top which is pretty worn, down to the padding on the sides and back. Looks like a lot of work though and I'm not sure if I would be comfortable putting money into that with the knowledge that something serious could happen at some point.
Hello, I have a 1979 old Cutler supreme thanks for your video although I’m saying it nine years late lol was wondering if you still had any parts to those vehicles specifically the plastic trim on the land out top that goes around the back window that’s covered up
Excellent video. Good job! Very helpful in seeing how 1977-88 G-body Landau vinyl tops were installed during this period. Would also be interesting to see a similar video showing difference in attachment system for 1960s-1976 GM vinyl tops. No doubt the system changed over time. The conversion going either way -- adding or removing -- is doable. Just need to be realistic re: how much work is involved.
Hows it going great video, would you happen to have some or all of the vinyl top molding that go on the under side of a 1988 cutlass supreme , also the big molding strip that goes on across the roof
Can you do a vid on removing the rear window with a landau top? I need 2 reseal the back window on my 80 ttop cut & the shop is talking about the landau top needs 2 be removed! I refuse 2 believe Gm would've made it that difficult!
Believe it or not yes you have to remove the top because it is tucked around a plastic trim that lines the glass. I suggest taking it to an automotive interior shop that does tops and ask them as you might be able to release the top around the trim then remove the glass.
My 4dr Cutlass use to have a full vinyl top and had to remove the rear glass so I can screw in the new clips and had to do some body work on the for corners of the roof. At least it gave me the chance to reseal the rear glass LOL!
I’m trying to convert my hard top to vinyl But I can’t find much videos so I’m just watching these and taking notes lol I have everything but the clips now I’m trying to figure out how the vinyl trim on the rear windshield gets held up by the rivets do I weld the rivets in add the clips to it then the flimsy little cover that replaces the chrome trimming just latch on to it ?
did this 2 a 78 Cutlass Supreme where I ripped the vinyl top since it was dry rotted - the 'plastic' filler underneath is a known rust trap which has been poorly done by GM (sold the car over 2 yrs ago)
could u show what it would look like under a regal 87, I wanna do a grand national clone!, but the ones with a good price usually has a top on it. I need to know would it be worth the time.
Question for you my friend. I've got a 1984 Cadillac Seville there's got to be a cloth top how do I remove it I'm eating is it that I can't find any information on it but is it screwed on from the inside or is it the pop riveted on like what you were saying on that Cutlass thank you for your assistance I appreciate it
I have never worked on a Cady but it will be a similar concept regarding the use of clips that you pop the trim off of. Nothing is screwed from the inside.
GBody.. Question will a rear window for a G Body rear window from years 1979 to 1988 that fits on a Monte Carlos, Regal, and Cutless. Will it fit for a 1986 Buick Regal Vinyl Top.
say I pull my vinyl top off my 84, cause I want to replace it. But I want to paint it as well. Do I (1) pull the vinyl top off,(2) fix the roof damage,if any.(3) Primer and paint.(4)Replace vinyl top.
a friend of mine said when he worked for gm in the mid 70s that the monte carlo tops when installed they used a window cutter on them and they cut into the paint....that's why they all rusted...I have a 77 monte carlo landau that needs a new top
Can someone shed some light regarding the rivets that hold the chrome around the hardtop rear glass? How many are there total and where exactly are they located? My cutlass is currently at the painters and I'd appreciate if someone some pics or a video. Thanks!
ever seem one with a stainless top on it? buddy in school had a black cutlass supreme with a brushed stainless top. only one I've seen it was a neat option
I have been looking everywhere for help on making the rubber/vinyl top on my 85 cougar look better. Its all rough and it just looks like crap. Can someone please help?
I took the vinyl top off my 1985 Monte Carlo and the back quarter panel Windows still has the Chrome around it but there's a little Gap what can I use to fill that Gap in
I deleted the vinyl top but kept the vinyl look.Leaving on the hold down chrome top trim and fiberglassing the plastic piece to get the puffed up look the vinyl top gave off.And painted the top black ,before i had painted the half top autumn maple red like the original vinyl top color was.
i have a video on quarter glass removal on an 81-88 but not the back glass. You need to cut the seal with a utility knife or have a glass company remove it.
I need the rear window trim and the door window trim. I'm trying hard to get the 79 back on the road. I took all of the lower chrome trim and wheelwell trim off and have no plans to use any of it. I'd be willing to buy or trade someone trim pieces if anybody is interested. A couple of pieces have a few little nicks, but over all, the pieces are in decent shape.
Classic G-Body Garage yeah no doubt there is a guy supposed to be making a reproduction run if i get a 4 speed set you want to make a deal on my 3 speed set ? thats my 3 speed set in my profile pic im still gonna get you some pics of my 1980 cutlass havent forgot getting my 540 chevy done up this spring

DogFartsEaglesSuperBowlChampions - hey i need help i have to replace the back window on a 2001 mercury grand marquis and the window guy said he wont touch it because of the ragtop. How can i peel it up enough to get access to the window without damaging the top
And don't forget that all that factory bondo/filler in those unfinished joints needs to be COMPLETELY removed and redone. That filler is porous and over time will absorb water and it filters down to the metal underneath causing rust beneath the filler. So, just because the filler looks okay, doesn't mean there's not moisture and rust forming underneath it.
I've been doing vinyl top since 1976 the factory specifically made those Cutlass Regals Monte Carlos Grand Prix with the vinyl top not when you take off the vinyl top and paint it it's going to look like a Mickey Mouse job

Do you have any quarter window/trim removal and installation videos?
Hows it going great video, would you happen to have some or all of the vinyl top molding that go on the under side of a 1988 cutlass supreme , also the big molding strip that goes on across the roof
Unfortunately I have sold all of my extra trim.
Me and a few friends just got to LS Monte Carlo and pulled the top off and amazingly they look pretty decent under it
Where can i buy that plastic molding that goes under the top i need that for my 1981 2dr cutlass supreme brougham
If you are referring to the plastic that goes around the rear glass, haven't seen anyone producing it.
Nice informative video. I have a 1980 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz with the vinyl top. Needs replacing. Does this apply to the Cadillac's as well??
Most likely very similar

I have never worked on a Cady but it will be a similar concept regarding the use of clips that you pop the trim off of. Nothing is screwed from the inside.
you should be able to remove the molding by rocking it side to side and look for pop rivets as rev. top repairs will bandage it.

Just pull it off and have an upholstery shop put a new one on. Or if you want it off and clean then you need to get the window trim.

when you take the top off then what exactly do you do ? what if you just paint over the top where it was removed does that work or what ?
Andres Paniagua you have to do body work and paint then install the proper rear window trim used on a non vinyl top car.
Looks like they would need some mods to the B pillars as well along with the painted top gutter moldings.
