23 Buick Roadster Conv 6 cyl

[Guest pssmls]

Need to replace the top material on my roadster. I have all of the hardware. Need to know what material I need - also need to know of a shop near Salt Lake City or Provo, Utah that is capable of doing the top correctly.

Also need to know what mechanism attaches to the two lock push down rods. I have the locks and the rods, but need the parts that attach the two together.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Paul,

There is a 4 door 1923 Buick convert for sale in Brighten Colo. Has a "fair"canvas top, and the car is drivable. Just needs some TLC.

Dave Coco, Trimacar on this forum, did an excellent, first class job on my 23 McLaughlin Buick. Of course he is a bit far from you, he is in northern VA, but you might want to contact him for advice. He is always willing to help.

He used a Haartz product called Stayfast. They are the leaders in the industry. Great material. Here is link.

By the pins do you mean the two on either side of the windshield posts? If yes, then the top is fastened down with two L shaped bolts that clamp the top corners to the pins. The pins have a little detent in them so the bolts will not slip out at speed.

Here are a couple of pics of my completed top that Dave did.

Thank you for the information about the convertible top material and the person in VA that does them.

Regarding the lock pins, I am talking about those pins that you push down to lock the doors. I need to know what the parts are that attach those pins to the actual lock/striker mechanisms inside the doors.
