Top-Notch Installation
Proper installation of a convertible top requires a high level of expertise, and at All Star Upholstery, we’ve got what it takes to get the job done right. We pride ourselves on being true masters in the industry, and we are dedicated to delivering top-notch results. We pay attention to every detail, ensuring a weather-tight seal and a stunning appearance.
The Importance of Frame Alignment
To achieve the best outcome, it’s essential to start with a solid foundation. If your frame is old and worn, simply replacing the top skin won’t give you the desired results. At All Star Upholstery, we begin the restoration process with a thorough mechanical inspection of your frame. We meticulously align the frame assembly to the body of the car, the windshield header, and the doors and door glass. This careful process guarantees a precise fit and ensures that all functioning mechanisms work seamlessly.
Complete Top Frame Restoration Options
We offer a range of top frame restoration options to bring your convertible back to its former glory:
- Broken Frame Welding
- Frame Component Replacement
- Corrosion Control
- Painting
- Tack Strip Replacement
- Full Framework Disassembly, Refinishing, and Reassembly for an outstanding restoration
Convertible Power Top Systems Repaired or Replaced
If your convertible’s power top system is not functioning properly, we’ve got you covered. Our skilled technicians can repair or replace components such as the hydro electric pump motor, hydraulic ram, power top relay/switch, and hydraulic hose. Leave it to us to ensure that your convertible top operates smoothly and reliably.
High-Quality Convertible Top Skins
When it comes to convertible top skins, we only offer products from manufacturers known for their exceptional quality and durability. We proudly work with trusted brands such as Robbins Auto Tops, Electron Tops, and Gahh Tops. Unlike inferior options, our tops are carefully installed without any stretching, guaranteeing a perfect fit and easy latching.
Additional Services We Offer
In addition to convertible top replacement and repair, we also provide the following services:
- Custom Made Tops
- Tonneau Covers
- Top Boots
- Bop Tops – Lightweight and easily removable tops designed for the 1928-29 and 1932 Ford Roadsters, conveniently stored in the trunk
Convertible Headliners
Many convertibles, both modern and classic, feature headliners to enhance the interior look. Over time, these headliners can become worn, torn, or faded, requiring replacement. It’s best to replace them during the installation of a new convertible top for a fully refreshed interior.
Choose All Star Upholstery for Your Convertible Top Needs
If you’re considering purchasing a convertible top online or on eBay, think twice. Warranty issues can arise, and you may have to deal with the hassle of uninstalling and reinstalling the top if problems occur. At All Star Upholstery, we offer peace of mind. When we purchase and install your top, you’re covered by our full warranty for both the top and the installation. Don’t risk your time and money by trying to save a few bucks.
Protect Your Investment
If you’re buying a convertible top that has been stored in a box for years or purchasing an old car with a top stored in the trunk, think again. Wrinkles in tops that have been stored for extended periods are permanent and impossible to get rid of. Don’t fall for the trap.
Plastic Windows – Things to Consider
Plastic windows in convertibles can deteriorate over time due to various factors, including age, sun exposure, and improper cleaning. When considering installing a new plastic window, keep in mind that the life expectancy of a convertible top is typically 7 to 10 years. If your top is over 5 years old and you need a new window, it’s more cost-effective to replace the entire top. Attempting to sew a new window into an old top often leads to further deterioration.
Convertible Glass Rear Window Replacement
If your glass rear window is cracked or broken, we can help. We are experienced in handling insurance claims and can expedite the process for you. In the meantime, we can install a temporary window to ensure you can still use your vehicle while waiting for the replacement.
We Fix or Replace:
- Water Leaks
- Air Leaks
- Wind Noise
- Weather Stripping
