I broke down and bought a conv top boot for my 64. I havwe looooooog since throw out the old falling aprt one....
MY question is... the clips How d other attach to the clear plastic on the bottom of the boot ?
ther is a slot and a hole ,, with the hole face the inside of the car top well..
The clipe are two peices and the SS samll postage stamp some how locks the plastic coated one ??

Thanks.. in advamce..

The flat piece slips through the slit and it has a hole in it. Line that hole up with the hole in the plastic and then pop rivet them on. Once they are pop riveted on you can slid the other piece into place. simple to do you just need a pop rivet gun.

Thanks for the info Jeff. graemlins/thumbsup.gif

You would think for the price $ 40.00
they would at least have SOME info on how to install them clips.... :confused:

Wayne, You can make fun, but it works.
After going through two sets of the clips not working, I found that Wiremold 800 nonmetallic (PVC) raceway cover snaps over the trim strip and holds. I cut some and installed them inplace of the clips. Been there for over 10 years. I have to reach inside and pull up on the HillBillie clips to release.
800 Wiremold is a Elect product.

Bob..
I would never make fun..odf an inovative idia..
will look into that...
I spent to many hours polishing the pinch weld. and am vary read VARY conserned about these plastic coated steel clips. and the molding ?
Maybe I am just paranoid But IMO one ounce of prevention is worth 10 pounds of cure.
nd an ALL plastic clip is desirible over stamped plastic coated steel...

My '64 is very new to me. I have a boot for my top, but cannot figure out how it attaches. Can someone e-mail me pictures of their boot and how it attaches. Thanks. Ted

Ted.. the way they are install.
The factory style plastic coated clip that are attached to the outer edge of the boot, and it's snaped over the pinch weld molding sides and across the rear.
you position the clip on the inside edge and snap it over the molding :eek:
and remove by preasing on the back of the clip through the boot...
