I spent months looking for the Town Car (2002) that I bought 5 years ago; most of the ones that were for sale had vinyl tops, and I wouldn't touch them. You guys have shown why.
One thing I can say about those cars is being body on frame you can actually replace the entire section of top if needed. The issue is the welding that you would need to do to replace the thing might require another carriage roof to cover up and hide the welds. ( limos have such roofs to cover the welding that was required to extend the body )
Wow, I always wondered how the cars looked under those tops...I had no idea that you basically killed some of the bodywork by installing those. Still think they look dope on Town Cars, though...
Nice movie. But if you wanted to carry out the work sustainably. Better to make those holes in the roof rust free and weld them closed. Now you know for sure that within a few years the roof will start leaking and rust.
My top is in good shape just pulled up a bit passenger side. I see why now screw must of broken. That I can fix. Thanks for the video it is most helpful. I think I would of used auto body putty to seal the holes.
What an unfortunate car modification 😂boomers had quite a taste. Now your only two options are a new vinyl top or re-wrapping/repainting this one (which will rot away anyway) or re-painting the car (painting the roof is the worst, even with proper equipment) Great video and cool car 👌
I'd love to see how you guys would do this thru u both on a 2000 Lincoln towncar limo I have. I'm afraid to even touch it or try to do anything to it despite the vinyl top on it is cracking and is even coming off over the back of the side panel behind my rear door in it due to a bad rust spot my car has on it and under it even. I really wish I knew how to be doing it to a limo if I'd be possible and to not be having to be paying a shop thousands a shop wants to do it even here and that's out in Riverside CA an HR away from me and when I don't have a few thousand just to be giving to a shop to be doing it if it's possible. What's the tube of stuff your putting on the holes in the top of the roof on it? Is that a tube of DAP? Or whats in that tube? And why are you filling up the holes? U not putting another vinyl top on it? Or what?
Hats off to these young men, learn to work with your hands and you will have a job anywhere in the world and make good money doing it. "Hey Alexa, remove my vinyl top." Oh yeah, she can't....but these guys can! Best wishes.
Oh man...I'm thinking about buying a 2001for $1000 and although it's a Florida car,, I noticed bubbling rust near every screw and thought it might be really bad looking under that cover...if I got it for 500 I would just cut the top off from the windshield back and build some kind of mad max car..but I already have a project like that..thanks guys for the video...if I can't get it for cheap, I'm going to leave this one alone
Hello, I have a 2005 Lincoln just like your`s, in the start of this video you took off tha ( chrome strip with the light fixture ) (Opera light ) mine blew off. can I buy these from you if you still have those part`s you took off? ,also the plastic hold down piece`s ?
@@foxyfox3942 I have a town car with a full canvas soft top, it's really great for muffing the sound. Vinyl I'm sure, does the same, but it gets torn and wears off very easily and ugly. If you work on a car with soft top, don't discard it before trying to convert into a fabric canvas. The shell under the fabric is worth a fortune these days.
I had a 1991 Ford LTD Crown Victoria LX and one of the corners of the C Pillar was so rusted below the Vinyl top that I could fit my whole fist through it.
Good choice. Those tops just look awful and will ruin a perfectly good car. Old people trying to re-create the great looking cars of the 70's and 80's. The rounded styling on modern cars just doesn't look well with them and they don't match the quality and finished look of the factory installed tops. I would never buy a car with an aftermarket canvas or vinyl top like this!

I saw one just now that’s almost what I’m looking for. But the top it has isn’t in a good color that matches the car.
Looks like I have to pass.
Lol, Midnight Auto! Reminds me of when I was a kid, working on mine at night to beat the heat of Vegas. Nice Town Car.

So proud to see these young men doing something productive. Good Job Guys...... Pizza Party for you.😃
THATS MY CAR!!!...just kidding
Right!

Yep im dealing with the same situation with my 2003 towncar😭 Imma have to just go with blackout since itll hide the weather stains better🤷♂️
This was so awesome, keep up the great work! I am proud to be your 100th sub!!

I got vinyl too but mine is 2003 im sure theres going to be wayy more rust🥲
They did a good job now I feel like I can do it thank y’all frfr
Hey! What did you guys do with the opera/coach lights on the B pillars that you cut the wire @ 2:32??? I'd like to buy them if you saved them!
Nice movie. But if you wanted to carry out the work sustainably. Better to make those holes in the roof rust free and weld them closed. Now you know for sure that within a few years the roof will start leaking and rust.
I’m currently fixing my Lincoln 1997 do you guys know how to remove a headliner and replace trim
Hey do you guys have another video of how the removal of the soft top came out?
Good job guys. Post more of your work!!

My top is in good shape just pulled up a bit passenger side. I see why now screw must of broken. That I can fix. Thanks for the video it is most helpful. I think I would of used auto body putty to seal the holes.
Buen trabajo compa. Este es mi carro favorito

Great video! I always wondered what was beneath those tops
LOTS 0F RUST. PLASTIC TOPS= NO GOOD. CONGRESSIONAL TOWN CAR= WOW!!
Glad you enjoyed!

Thanks so much!
I’m looking for a top like that for my 2000 where did you get yours from?
Nice!!! Keep working on the Town Car!
We will!

Well said
Would a 1999 Town Car have paint underneath the vinyl and fiberglass like those car does??
Yes. The vinyl covered fiberglass shell is glued and screwed on after the car is painted at the factory.
Great job, guys!
Thanks!!

I just bought my son a 1997 signature series with a vinyl top,but needs to be replaced 😔
Nice! I have the same car
Oh brother... that was a mistake.

I don't have it anymore
I love your video
Badass work
Getting the kids in there, I love it!
Excellent!!!
Glad you like it!
Nice what are y’all going to do to the Lincoln town car bro ? Are y’all going to put some new wheels
Not sure yet
So I have a 94 Caprice with a top. I want it off asap. I have taken the cloth off but now all I see is fiberglass. Any suggestions? Anybody...
if you don't see screws they probably glued it
@@ORLEANHTX any suggestions on getting it off? It's metal under this B's fiberglass right?
Muy buen trabajo
Gracias
I need to buy a replacement vinyl top for my 03 Town Car. Does anyone know a website that sells it thx 👍
Sand it, paint it.after you take the top off. Plastic tops only Rot' out your roof
Thx I'm order a new top and take it local body shop to get put on
@@captainamericaamerica8090 yea I see what u mean thx
@@HexicanLS460L yo where you ordered your top from
@@terrelljoseph7899 it's just the cloth not the shell, but my shell is fine just needs new material it's all cracked and ripped bad 😂
Need video on a 1980 to 1986 wldorado
Great job, kids. Keep up the good work 👏 👍 ✊👆
Thank you! Will do!
Put a fresh vinyl top to cover it up again!
I was thinking the same
Those rust holes need to be taken care of the right way or the rust is going to eat on through the metal,all the rust has to go not just the holes
what kind of caulk did you use ?
i hate vinyl tops
Bruh

FUE, BIEN, GENIAL, A VER, TERMENANDO, COMO LUCIA,😊😊😊
Take it to the junkyard? Fix it or sell it to someone that will…
How are these cars not rusted to death?
молодцы пацаны, хоть пока что и рукожопы, шурик они напрасно взяли
That top forsale ???
I don't have it anymore
👍👍👍
يرمي النعمه اخ يالقهر
Y lo tapizaron otra vez?
NO, no lo vamos a tapizar
THOSE PLASTIC TOPS ARE NO GOOD. SAND THEM OFF
You forgot to remove the piece on the trunk lid.
MINT!

I agree with you
Well I disagree with you. These roofs add class and style in my opinion. So I am glad they exist.
@@SkySkrapinEnt yea same here always loved em my town car is a 2006 beige with a black rag top
I hate them, it actually takes away from beauty of the car, in my opinion
They look good on some cars
The rust and holes underneath is the problem with them.
You lost me at with this flat head screw driver have you not heard of a trim removal kit
