Thought i would  show this,  as i have fitted new tops  over the years  to a 69 Skylark,

and a  69 Electra  convertibles.

When i  purchased this  64 Electra convertible from US   three years ago ,i  was aware it had a very bad

rear window  and rotten   top pads,  but the actual  vinly top in fairly good condition, so about  4 months ago  ordered

 new rear window and  pads from US, and just finished this  latest job  last week.

What i would like to  mention is , its  probably    just as hard and difficult  as fitting a brand new top,

because one has to remove  the  total top anyway,--i started at rear  first  then worked to front.

The worst job on this model is  fitting the  window and top to the actual rear water gutter  steel rail 

that raps round  at lower rear, up inside trunk   while keeping the  window in  a  tight position.

Cost  for new window and  pads from US  was $220.00 plus shipping.

But in the end worked out   ok, and i can now see  when driving  with top up.
