Convertible Top with Zipper Plastic Window
Fits 1961 through 1963 AMC American 400, 440 & Custom
Included with the Top, Wire-On Trim & 2 Chrome ends (above rear window trim)
All the seams are Heat-Sealed. All Convertible Top materials are mildew & mold resistant, and UV treated for color fastness. The plastic windows are DOT rated heavy 40-gauge thick vinyl. No sewing is required. We offer EZ ON brand Tops. EZ ON brand is used by professionals and is known for quality workmanship & precision tailored craftsmanship.
When you purchase a 2-Piece Convertible Top & Window, you will receive two sections of the top: the Convertible Top section and the Window section. They are ready for installation; no sewing is required. During installation, each section gets installed on the Top Frame separately (the same as the factory top installation). After installation is completed, the Convertible Top Quarters will overlap the 2 sides of the Window Section, making it look like a 1-Piece Top; in reality, they are 2 pieces overlapping each other (which is the same as the original Top).
NOTE: With a Convertible Top & Window, if your model's Top installation requires, you will receive:
(1) New Wire-on trim & 2 Chrome Ends to hide the staples;
(2) New assembled Convertible Top Header Seal made with the same material as the Top Cover, or extra material the same as the Top material to recover the existing header seal. (The Top Header Seal is NOT the front rubber weather strip.)
This factory-style convertible top is designed specifically for AMC Rambler American Custom, American 400, and American 440 convertibles built between 1961 and 1963. It includes the two-door convertible bodies on the 106-inch wheelbase platform.
(2) Is this top a one-piece or two-piece design, and what type of window does it include?
It’s a classic two-piece top, consisting of a fabric main section and a zipper-in heavy-duty plastic rear window. The two parts overlap during installation to mimic the factory one-piece appearance.
(3) What materials and quality standards are used?
Constructed from Haartz Pinpoint Vinyl (factory original colors of black or white) or Haartz Stayfast Cloth, with all seams doubly heat-sealed and sewn for reinforcement. The plastic window is DOT-rated, 40-gauge vinyl. Fabrics are UV-treated, mildew- and mold-resistant for durability.
(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 warranty is offered?
This top is made by EZ ON brand and backed by a 3-year factory warranty on materials and window bond integrity, including an 18-month labor allowance.
