Re: 64 Convertible top

My January 18, 1964 built convertible has the VinylLite 164 dated top. This is an Al Knoch installed "John Kennedy" pattern top. My car has been through all NCRS flight judging levels as recent as 2014 and the top has judged correct, only taking a point off for the top bead being to short and a note on the condition of the warning label as seen in the bottom left of the picture. I drive my car to all the NCRS events and wash it which has taken a tole on the warning label. Be sure that they install the correct size (diameter) of the top bead that runs along the top of the windshield and that it is long enough. The picture of my car's top bead is too short on both ends, hence the one point deduction. See the picture I attached from the 1963/64 TIGJM showing the correct length of the top bead.

Hope this helps.
