My new vinyl roof was delivered today from Legendary and my drivers side lower seat shield has been shipped too...now all I need to do is find out how in the hell they are installed and get a little warm weather.
The parts are coming in....

That looks nice. Can't wait to see it on your car.

Will you be installing the roof?

No, I have never done one so I will take it to a local shop that does them.

Neither can I but I have no idea how they mount. I do have the brackets but still have to find out how they are attached.
I wouldn't attempt to put a top on either. Best to let the shop do it.

That sounds wise.

Have you stripped the vinyl top yet? I would since it often hides rust damage. I wouldn't want a shop just re-covering it without me seeing it and fixing it my way. I had my 69 Dart vinyl top recovered years ago. It had a rust bulge near the bottom. I never saw it stripped and the guy told me "no problems" but I have since seen horror photos of rust-thrus in that area. Car was stolen 4 yrs later so can't say.

Would you recommend taking pictures and letting the trim shop put the chrome trim back on?[/QUOTE]
Reinstalling the trim is easier then removing it. If your not going to do the prep work your self then choose a quality shop to remove the trim and refinish the top. (This would be the time to buff & polish the trim and replace all the mounting clips).
Take the polished trim to the trimmer with the vinyl top. If they have a problem with reinstalling the trim then you have the wrong trim shop.

The shop I am taking it to shares a building with a body shop so the top can be stripped and any repairs needed can be done in the same place. I was planning on having any damage repaired then a coat of epoxy primer and then painted white..then the new vinyl put on.

That should work out fine for you then. A light buffing of the stainless trim will make things pop a little. It's in the details.
I am so jealous of that Monaco
