Convertible Top & Blank Curtain: What to Know about 2-Piece Convertible Tops
When you purchase a 2-Piece Convertible Top & Blank Curtain, you will receive two sections of the top: the Convertible Top section and the Blank Curtain 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 Blank Curtain 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).
New Glass Window not included with the Top, you can re-use your own Glass or buy it separately.
NOTE: With a Convertible Top & Blank Curtain,
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.)

(3) What does the “zipper blank curtain” option include, and why choose it?
The “blank curtain” is a solid double-thick fabric panel (no window) that allows you to reuse your existing rear window frame and glass—including both outer and inner frames with internal grippers, which can mount directly to the top.
(4) What deck seam configuration is being offered here for the blank curtain?
The seam pattern offered here is Deck seams running from the windshield to top of rear window.
(5) 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!
