And yet it still looks better. I'd tear off my non-ripped vinyl roof if my car didn't have the stupid coach window.88 Town Car (wrecked, for sale)

An upholsterer wanted $500 to replace the vinyl roof. He said he'd have to pull the headliner, which is perfect, in order to remove the metal band. What's a fair price for a slick top conversion?1987 Grand Marquis LS two door, trying to get to the 60,000 mile mark.Comment

Yeah the entire interior has to come out...well everything above and behind the doors panel wise. Bunch of nuts holding the metal band up top as well as the side trims.
Slick top will be just as expensive if not more. All of the holes need to be welded up then you need to paint basically the entire roof and quarter panels.
Personally I'd have the to[ replaced. I did mine YEARS back. I took everything off myself and prepped the roof myself. All I had the top shop do was install the vinyl top. I reinstalled everything myself and it cost me under 200 bucks.Last edited by 87gtVIC; 05-02-2015, 08:04 PM.~David~

It was just a suggestion. In my opinion it looks better slicktop and it's easier to care for a painted roof than the vinyl. Like I said if I could get rid of mine, I would but I don't know if I even can, not sure if swapping in the larger rear window is possible.88 Town Car (wrecked, for sale)

Slick tops are the only tops in my book.
Sometimes the less luxury it looks, the more performance it looks. But that's kinda all the time.__________________________________________________

Man that's a sharp looking car. I'm more of a black car kinda guy, but I'm willing to budge on this one. I agree with going slicktop, but anything will be a welcome improvement. I also love the white lettering. She would look good with some spacers to give her a little more stance. The dark headlights look good against the white as well. Looking forward to updates.Comment

Why, because their cheaper to maintain?Originally posted by gadget73 View Post

How do you like those Cooper Cobra tires? I had those years ago on my '82 Deville. I don't remember much about them except that I like the way that they look.

cheaper to buy too. The Landau and full vinyl/canvas tops were a "luxury option".Originally posted by BuffaloRider View Post
