    @Rene-uz3eb 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    From what I've figured out, the original quality is still way better than the best you can buy as a replacement. For some reason the best replacements are twillfast ii, nobody offers the original twillfast iv.
    ii has cotton on the inner layer, like how is that a good idea? No way it will last long.
    All I need is to add a few stitches, and figure out if i can dismantle the frame underneath it enough to get access

    Beautiful job, can you tell me if the screws are all the same size? I had to have 4 screws down the sides shortened because they were poking into the cover when it was down.

    Thank you so much for sharing this video. I used your video step by-step to replace the top on my 2001 C5. I purchased the least expensive top that I could find and it didn't have all the markings that you mentioned. As a result of that (and the fact that I'm not handy), I ended up with wrinkles/on the drivers side and a little bit of pouchiness behind the rear window. The top that I installed is made of vinyl. I really had a tough time with it (albeit a much easier time if I didn't have your video to use). Do you have any suggestions for how to remove those wrinkles (not small) and the pouchiness? I am trying to avoid removing all of the staples along the back (which I worry is the only way to fix it).
    Also, I ended up also replacing the headliner, so if you have any videos on replacing the headliner along with the top, it may help future folks that watch this video.
    Again, THANK YOU so much for posting this super-helpful video. You were a lifesaver!

      Thanks for watching my videos to remove the wrinkle it is not hard you just have to remove the rear area remove stapler . Send some photos of that issue. You can send me a photo through Facebook Messenger my Facebook link is in the description of this video, I will guide you how to fix that top once again thank you for watch my videos

      @mecaupholsterytips  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The cable if it is in bad condition you have to replace it or you have to make a new cable but most of the time on this year that cable is in good condition you just have to put it back just remember how you remove it because you have to put it back at the same way
