Nice job sir! I worked my way thru college in the 70's working at an auto trim shop in upstate NY. A large part of my job was removing and replacing vinyl tops for dealers and body shops. Your technique in dealing with removals is spot on to what I was taught. Ford trim was always a bit of a pain, especially for the rear window vinyl that was applied under the rear glass about 50% of the time. It was very wise of you to avoid pulling the windshield trim! One false move and crack!

Ive just come across your channel. you are pretty freaking amazing!!! Love all your tips, though I can't keep track of all the numbers.. IM thinking you have to work fairly quickly so the glue doesnt dry too much so you can still have movement and yet have the stickiness to keep the vinyl down...

Very good job. I’m amazed. I have a 1977 Ford LTD with a half vinyl top I need done. Question. You didn’t show the joining together the bottom half seams (on the trunk deck) did you stitch them or just glue them with an inch seam?

[@oldschoolautoupholstery]

Hello Chessie, Thank you so much for saying so. I know I missed it, but really, the rear window band just gets glued on. If I remember right, the 1/2 top roof trim is screwed on from underneath which requires partial removal of the headliner. The big problem, is Ford used a cotton thread to sew up the headliners and sometimes the seams just fall apart. Then you would have to resew all the headliner seams before reinstallation.

[@oldschoolautoupholstery]

Hello Greg, Thank you so much for saying so. Windshields are laminated glass, whish is why they will crack. Rear glass is tempered and harder to damage.

[@oldschoolautoupholstery]

Hello Slim, Thank you so much for saying so. I got lucky and all of the original clips survived. The rear quarter clips were metal push in. The clips under the rear window were plastic.
