Donnie, I suspect you've discovered that the reproduction vinyl top seams are not in the right place. The vinyl top seams should be directly over the factory filler panel seams.

All that's left of my vinyl top is the seams... is this top torn up enough for ya? Fortunately you can see both the seams in the metal and the top.

Thanks Helmut.
what started this post was the original 69 in the for sale section. stating it has the original top.
so, I had to make sure I knew what I thought I knew. and you and Charley have confirmed it.

I agree about the top on the car in the classifieds... Nice car though.

I'd like to replace the vinyl top on my 1969 Chevelle (apparently it needs it), but I'd like to do it properly. Has anyone altered the location of the seams on the repro vinyl tops? Also, the repro vinyl tops are softer (have more padding than original. Perhaps that is just a matter of age... Is there any way to change that?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Charlie, that is an absolutely gorgeous 1969 Chevelle!
