    Vinyl top question

    Looking to do a slicktop conversion on my 85 and was wondering if the roof is painted underneath the vinyl top or not?

    Mine had some kind of primer/sealer with some body color overspray.

      So would probably be best to get paint stuff before peeling it off?

        Not well, and there is a big seam on the top part of the C pillar that is not filled. Can see it in Tiggie's pic above. If yours is the half roof, there will also be a line of holes across the roof that need to be filled. Depending on the rear window treatment, there may also be a big stupid fiberglass shell around the glass.

            At the edge of what's peeled it looks like the paint underneath is really orangepeeled, is that the way the finish is or just the glue on it?

              The top of my c pillar is smooth, did any cars come slicktop and get vinyl afterwards?

                Some dealers had vinyl tops installed by an outside shop. At that time the demand for vinyl tops was high. High profit for the dealer and by ordering slick tops, it cut down on wait time from the factory.
