Hello I am trying to restore my 1970 cutlass S and I want to remove the vinyl top because I have a feeling it may have some rust under it and if not I really don’t care for them because the tops have been known to hold moisture that could cause rust. The person I bought it from said it was a new top but it looks like a cheap job! It looked like the person just covered the original top(I pulled some of it back near the rear window). How would I go about handling this problem(REMOVING)?
(For the books I am on a college student budget!!LOL)

 

Depending on how good or bad the adhesive is underneath, you might be able to use a putty knife to break the glue loose while you pull on the vinyl. I've got one that came off pretty easy. John

 

IF it looks like you have rust, there is rust. And it is 10 times worse than you think it will be.

AMEN!
