Default New Composite Hard Top

Made out of rare earth plastics, installation easy! Have a vagrant drug addict cut a section out of your top to steal, the multipurpose tool out of the bulkhead pouch, and the napkin that was wedging the pop out coin holder closed...

Off to an awesome start of a rainy day, I'll keep you guys updated with the Mickey Mouse repair. When the weather clears up.


You got to do what you got to do.

Sorry to hear about this. There are far too many worthless pieces of crap walking the Earth.

I was pissed about it for a couple days, however I was able to park it somewhere safe start the repairs slowly. Working on it everyday after work. I was able to patch up the big hole by sewing it all back together I'm definitely going to have to get a new top in the future, but it's good enough.

I might even be able to do some cosmetic repairs to like iron on canvas, but I'll definitely keep you guys updated to what it looks like after I'm done.

Best source for a new top is BAS International when you are ready. About $900.00.

Thank you I really do appreciate that, right now I did some temporary repairs ended up stitching it myself, looks like Frankenstein but I might overlay some canvas over the part that was damaged so it doesn't look too bad.

I'm going to try to do a good enough repair. It's just I have to be completely honest with you. This is not the crossfire that would be desirable to restore because it has been in a few accidents, over 265,000 miles, even it has a whole quarter panel from another Crossfire, which came out absolutely fantastic and somebody decided to back into it recently 😔.

I love this car because of pure nostalgia and memories. I have had with the vehicle over the 15 plus years of ownership.

It's a tough break but I'm going to try to do the best I can. With what I can, hopefully learning something in the process. If get in over my head, at least I know. That I can get a brand new top for 900 bucks. I really do thank you guys for commenting.

Just remember, it is THE BEST top to practice on. You may get to know (maybe) what works, and what may not have worked as good as you initially thought it would. No matter what, you'll maybe learn something. Please share your experience? Good luck!
