- Installing a custom silding Rag top on a chevy caprice. 45 X 50 Silding Rag top from legacy.
If you contact legacy (www.sunroofsource.com) to have your custom 45x50 built Just tell them you want a sliding rag like Cappa’s caprice if your getting it for your caprice. It will be the max size for the car 2 door or 4 door!
2 yards should be plenty to cover your cars too if all your doing is a new canvas top.

So is there anything that actually creates a seal between the aluminum frame to the roof of the car to keep water out from car washes/rain?
The top itself is what keep rain and water out. I leave the car outside and never had a leak or anything. The top is 100% water proof and the same concept as any convertible. If you put a pressure washer at it maybe it would leak but I doubt it.
Hi brother cappa… I’m currently restoring an 89 Chevrolet caprice classic like yours… questions if i may: 1) is this a DIY project i can do solo, or is it difficult enough that’s it requires someone technically trained for body work restorative projects? And 2) does this provide a water tight seal against strong pressure washer cleaning and heavy rainfall?
Thank you for taking the time to respond..

Hello, this too isn’t very hard to install yourself. You can use a jig saw to cut the roof. This doesn’t leak in heavy rain fall or any natural water event. If you go through a car wash chances are water will get in a little. I’ve only ever got a tiny bit one time and it was with the pressure washer. I just use a garden hose now only when washing the car.
@@cappafpv thank you very much for taking the time to respond brother Cappa… this clarifies things a lot…i think i will take a swing at this project, though i am not as technically competent as you, I’m afraid, lol… but you’ve given me the confidence to attempt it.
God bless..
OMG your work is Better then a whole lot of top custum shops I've seen..You do Great wk...I Really Like your wk..Do you do only your cars Only?
No I work on other people cars too. I’m in central Florida
Cool..I bought a 1980 cadillac sedan deville from down there about 4yrs ago..your painting skills are good also..im'ma get back with you later on down the line..im'ma. Be looking for a Great skilled body painter..
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🔥.. I've always wanted to do one of those instead of doing new panoramic roof.. 🤔 Got me thinking of doing it to 77 Chrysler New Yorker 4door
You did a awesome job 🥶🥶🥶 I want this same roof, but scared that I will have too cut into my quarter top trim 😢
Just shorten it up and have it slide over the top of the trim and not mess with it
What an amazing job you guys have been doing on this car! I' started watching your vids on this build and it really awesome. Beautiful job keep up the great work. shout out from San Jose, CA (Bay Area)
damn now I want to take out my G6 panoramic and do this with a blue cloth on my Aerocoupe
Quite a paint job...wish I can do just a bit of what you do lol...
Could you do my car like that
Looks great! I plan on installing one in my 85 LeSabre
You really did a great job 🤝
Telling ya majik! Them another type of style- Mohawks for cars...
Thank you man I’m trying my best lol
That rides coming out dope keep the content coming
Paint some olmec heads on side
Awesome job...serious skills...
Great job...question for you?..did you use original headliner?..and if so how did you cut to meet the sliding ragtop?...I will appreciated it if u can guide me a little...thank you
The stuff is suede headliner on eBay if you search it. Basically I put a bit of glue around the edge of where the factory headliner would have ended and then some of the same landau glue on the aluminum rails. Stretch it as you go and cut the middle out later.
Mane that's nasty , big props on your build. I want too put one of those Rag top moon roofs in my 81 impala but real nervous on cutting on it, and what the long term effects of these open sun roofs on this cars??
I think it should be just fine. The aluminum frame braces it back up solid. It will have hydraulics soon so we will see too lol
Aw man , I did that same mohawk on mine. 8 yrs ago. Looks awesome. You did a great job on yours.
How did it hold up? Did it age well?
@@aaronlewis7562 yes it holding still. My homie owns the car now. That was 10 yrs ago.
@@wacoldestv1704I want one but not whole roof half just front seats show what size I need
How does it lock ??
Damn good job brotha
Super nice homie
Amazing job!
Where you get materials canvas and suede any links available
The canvas I got from the company that makes the top so it matched perfectly. The suede I got off eBay and sent them it to put in the sliding top
Nice
Super Krispy bro.... that canvas top plus the sliding rag was the perfect touch.... the suede head liner is the cherry on top.... hard af 💪💪💪
Making the "More door" a car to be desired instead of passed by. I happen to love them now but back in the sixties, this was a no way today or any other time day to be caught even riding in one
I’m thinking about putting one in my Monte Carlo. Have you had any problems with it leaking?
No not a single issue with it leaking. I’m in Florida and daily this car and it rains a bunch here
@@cappafpv ok thanks for the info. I’m more than likely going to get one. I appreciate it
Just dropping my top onto my 31 Tudor Sedan…… how the hell do you get the top into the track once all of the frame is tightened down inside the roof?!? Scratching my head
You leave the front of the tracks loose on the frame and just hand tight the back. It was fairly easy watch the video and you can see me feed it in around 17:12
@@cappafpv man, I truly appreciate your speedy reply! That’s what I have figured out, but in their friggen instructions it has them applying all of the gasket sealer first and tightening all of the nuts…… and then lastly it says to install the top into the frame!!?!? I’m like, wth….. thanks again man
You did a great job!
What canvas top did you order?
I made the canvas top but ordered the sliding part from legacy
What kind of glue did you use
Landau contact adhesive. I have a link in the description
Wow!! That Caprice is sick. Very cool!
It looks real nice. I did that to my Impala SS 95 last year
What did the ragtop project run you,? I just bought an 85 caprice and want to throw a roll back top in mine. Your car looks amazing man 🤞🏽💯
Thank man. The top was roughly 700.00 and the extra canvas to do the rest of the top was about 150.00. The trim that isn’t shown in this video on the belt line was laser cut stainless maybe 80.00 or so. I think the cost of them has came down a little so check it out. Mine is about the max size that you can fit without running into issues with internal braces.
@@cappafpv hey thanks man I appreciate it I did visit the site and going to order my top this pay day!
Did they say there was a possibility of leaking or something if you use the foam underneath the canvas?
@@stevenperea1399 that’s what I was told when I called but who knows. It seems like it probably wouldn’t have leaked. I haven’t had any issues with mine leaking thank god lol.
After all your dedication and hard work time,time,time,and more time lol it finally comes together ❤ you have yourself one black betty.black deep gloss is one of those colors that just looks good on any car.love the patterns and the layout give yourself a pat on the back you've done a great job.as we all know it time,time is the biggest factor and patience 😆 lol wonderful project came out great enjoy your ride God bless and enjoy family 👪 its the best thing we shall ever have,besides our kool cars and bikes.peace.
Thank you sir
Can you do my car
Where you at and what you driving?

Where do you get the trim for the top from?
This video it doesn’t have the trim I thought you were asking about with the snaps. What specifically are you asking about?
@@cappafpv the trim that goes along the bottom some people use the gold screw in snap to hold the trim on it’s made for the car that didn’t come factory with top
@@ExtremeKustomz615 I had mine made from a company called “Oshcut” but you need the file and it’s flat when it arrives. I had to custom bend it and make it fit snug. I have another set but this was made with stainless and I made it very thick so it’s crazy hard to shape.
@@cappafpv thank you I’m going to put a canvas on my cutlass but couldn’t find the trim thank you I’m going to check them out
gR8 sense of pride being done by your own hands….AWE-SOME skills talent job👍🏻🫵🏻
