(1) Which VW Karmann Ghia models and years is this top designed to fit?
This convertible top is made to fit 1966 and 1967 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia convertibles (Type 14), specifically those with VIN numbers starting 147610909—also referred to as the CNV141 model. The top is compatible with both LHD and RHD Karmann Ghia convertibles from the targeted years.
(2) What style of rear window does this version include?
It includes a factory‑style half‑moon shaped sewn‑in plastic rear window, unlike earlier square bumper‑mounted versions or later glass installations.
(3) What materials and construction features are used?
Constructed using premium Haartz materials (Pinpoint Vinyl or Stayfast Cloth) with RF heat‑sealed seams, mildew‑ and UV‑resistant treatments, and DOT‑rated heavy 40 gauge thick plastic window. The top installs via staples hidden beneath a chrome‑tipped wire‑on trim at the rear edge. No sewing is required during install.
(4) Can I install this Convertible Top myself?
Technically, yes, most people can manage to install a Convertible Top on their own, provided they have experience working on automotive upholstery projects. However, TopsOnline.com recommends using a professional installer. Why? Because (a) a professional is going to provide you with the very best convertible top installation that you could ask for; (b) in the rare case where an installer might make a mistake, they’ll take care of it – but if YOU make a mistake with your own installation, that’s coming out of your pocket; and (c) finally, manufacturers reserve the right to void a warranty due to a faulty installation when that installation is done by someone who is not a professional installer. So bottom line: don’t take the risk: hire a professional installer for your convertible top installation – it’s worth it and you won’t regret it!
(5) What’s included, and what additional parts might I need?
The purchase includes only the outer convertible‑top skin with the sewn‑in plastic window. It does not include headliner, padding, cables, bows, or hardware. Those installation accessories can be ordered separately—or as part of a convertible top package offered by TopsOnline.
