(1) What model years and configurations does this top fit?
These replacement tops (and top kits) are engineered specifically for 1969 through 1976 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia convertibles (Type 14).

As always, check your chassis/VIN—especially for later years—because correct fitment may depend on your vehicle’s specific build date or regional configuration.

(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!
