After the Woodward Dream Cruise, I decided to fix the convertible top cover. I was coming up from behind the rear seat. It is held in by 6 sheet metal screws and four of them had come loose and fell out, putting a lot of strain on the two remaining and twisting the retaining bar.

Here's my problem:

You can also see the cover being pulled out of the metal channel.

So this means I have to remove the back of the rear seat to get to the screws that hold the top cover. In order to remove the back, I have to remove the lower back seat. So, in other words, I have to remove the entire back seat to get at it. Which is what I did.

Now I've re-installed the cover into the metal retaining channel. It was easier getting it into the channel by using WD-40.

Now I have to go get some new retaining screws since the missing screws were not underneath the rear seats. Once I get them, I can put everything back together.

Wife and kid are in Florida Frosty gotta play in the garage.

Damn straight I am.

I wrapped up the fix last night. I got the new sheetmetal screws at lunch time. I spent some time cleaning and detailing all the side bolsters, arm rests, and parts of the seats that are covered up too. I also vacuumed the carpet, removed the semi-melted Tootsie Rolls from under the seats left over from the Memorial Day Parade.

Lookin good. Overheard many LIKES on your interior. Wish mine had come out better. It is, what it is.

I can give you the name of my upholsterer here in Flint if you think you need it.

Thanks for the compliment. I got the idea for the 2-tone interior from a '54 Buick Roadmaster.

Looks great!

Thanks Ringo.

I enjoyed this part. Simple things amuse simple minds right?

Work looks good Frosty. I wish I had gotten things done with the Phoenix. Too much time on the.tractors. I cheated on her with a Massey-Ferguson

Havoc, at least the Phoenix has a back seat where you can enjoy it with a willing date. I think the back seat of a Massey-Ferguson is either a birth control device, serious BDSM, or self-abuse. Frankly, I think I know where'd I'd rather be.

The fact you are cheating on your Phoenix and admitting it in front of us Pontiac guys means you know you have a problem and you want help. You need to go on the Montel Williams show, talk about your problem, and ask for forgiveness. Jerry Springer will do if Montel is booked.

At least you didn't have to admit to cheating with a Honduh. You can be saved. PINK shirts are the root of all evil.
