*BRAND NEW* Convertible Top Installation for our 1982 Fiat 124 Spider!

Awesome! You pulled the trigger on the new top! Looks great.

This was the best video, I bought a 1980 [3 years ago] with the top removed and a new top in a box, this video is so detailed that I'm sure I can do this . I love that you show every step . Keep up the good work!!

Big fan. I am working on a 1980 fiat 124 spider 2000. I have broken it down completely and there is sooooooo much to repair. Love your series and it is a great reference for me. I really appreciate your work.

I appreciate all your content, It's really helping me learn more about my Fiat Spider.

THANK YOU!!! I have been looking for a good Video for this!!

It could be a straightforward installation process…but then again, it could be not…especially if the glue used is not sticking. One of the crucial things to do in the process is to make sure you hook the cable on the inverted hooks on top of the triangular glass windows…to do this I believe you have to slit open the top at the right place and retrieve the steel wire and hook it. Not the easiest to do. But it all has to do with the overall tensioning and proper fit of the top.

Can you provide the part numbers used for the cables, L-Shape plastic pieces, and the seal/trim? I can’t seem to find them on Vick’s website. Thanks!

So in watching your video, I’m installing my top, but my cable is to short, plus I was told there a eye tab that you run your cable thru then you attach to the tabs, I’m not seeing the little eye tabs that you ran your cable thru / I got my top from Vic, so I’m not sure why mine to short, I be callin them tomorrow ALSO, do the plastic curve piece ever come in the top, I checked mine and it looks like there one inside. It a Robbin top, is that possible there one in already,

Yes, have patience. 😁

The process was very straightforward, but I bought a car that they were starting to part out, but it was only missing the top. My car is an 81, but the frame I got with the car was from a 76. I was told that only the header was different and I could simply order the 76 top and everything else is the same. The top came, but seems to be about 3 inches short and the front clamp holes are in a different location that the connection at the windshield. Where are the adjustments made? I did refurbish the frame as it was missing bolts. The operation is smooth, but the canvas comes up short in the back. What would you suggest?

What kind of glue did you use for the bows ?

I recently purchased a 77’ - whenever I open my convertible top, the cloth part detaches from the body of the vehicle (at 16:25 is the step I’m talking about). How do you get it to stay even when it’s not closed and tight (glue, clamps,etc)?

very good video! Minute 12:30 which material is that? do you have a link where you bought that?

Quick question, I recently bought an 81 fiat spider and the drivers side window doesn’t go all the way to the top. What can I do to fix that?

rear window damage looked vandalism with a boxcutter

Nice, how do you connect the cable on the top of the rear quarter window. Took my top off, it never had cables! Still had the string. Thinking not to hook that cable on the window as the old hardware there is very hard to bend

What kind of adhesive did you use to glue the top frame to the vinyl top?
