Dean this is just excellent. I’m about ready to tackle putting a top on my 79 and this is the best informational video I’ve found. You really give the detailed info. Thank you so much.
Wow the Vert turned out awesome, some great and honest information, I did my ‘71 I had to get my friend to do the back window, I didn’t have the courage to cut my fancy stay-fast, thanks for all the effort.
That is awesome Thanks Dean. Hopefully I fave several more good years out of my top, but that video was very encouraging for me. Slade. Not a bad little (big) community you got going on here. ✌️
I have two offers of all missing parts, including canvas, headliner, etc., since I only have the structure. One from chuck and the other one from M &T manufacturing. Any recommendations will be welcome
Make sure to say Thank You to Dean for the How To -- Convertible Top ------ For those of us who would like to put in a 2- or 3 -Fold Top or do a Sunroof install ----- Do you know anyone --- for one of these tasks ---- that would do a How To Video ---- You probably have quite a few viewers that would like to make the change to their cars --- if you had a good detailed video --- I for one would make the change ---- Thank You for Sharing Dean with Us ----------- Rodney
Thanks for this valuable info and perfect timing even though I’m a long way off from this step. I have been stressing about it for many years But where do you get the rubber parts?
New vert to me. A 65. My first vert. Does anyone know if the headliner along both sides from front to rear get mounted to the frame somehow? Or are they loose and have to be loose to allow the top to fold open?
I own a 1955 convertible bug in perfect conditions with new top structure, but missing parts including top, rear glass and frame, top canva, headliner. Can any of you, please help me giving some information of shops, stores to restore it? Your HELP will be appreciated
Thanks!

This was a great film 🎥 it was like a TV show very entertaining 😮

That’s awesome, I am very glad it was helpful. Thank you for being here.
Greay video! Congrtultions on the 15k!!! Thank you so very much Dean!
nice job.
I believe I would have a nervous break down trying to do that. But I enjoyed Watching.
Thanks to my buddy Steve for the outstanding video and assisting with the top install. 👏
Amazing process,. I do alot of stuff but I don't know if I could tackle that. Very impressive !
That is awesome

3M super trim adhesive. Is this used for all the headliner bits? Like glueing the listing to the wood bow and metal bows?
What are you doing to the front of the headliner when you are measuring 18.5" and cutting?

I’m not sure if you are on Facebook, but Slades VW community Facebook group, if you post that there you will probably get a lot of guidance. Thank you
Don’t think I would be able to install a convertible top.
This is definitely a job for a Professional in my opinion.
I think it’s about $2500 in labor I saved by DIY. if I can do it anyone can. My day job has zero to do with cars or mechanics.
Looks really easy. NOT. 😂
