1971-1976 Scissor Top Convertibles

by Sueann Blackwell-Merrillville Auto Glass & Trim on 02/05/23

While we do not do these kinds of tops - I will be linking to places that do:
Mr. Trim in Downers Grove Il
Midwest Auto Tops and Trim - Orland Park (CLOSED)  as of June 1st 2023

 it is important to know about these tops -  These include:  full-size GM convertibles, including the 1971-1976 Buick LeSabre, the 1971-1976 Buick Centurion, the 1971-1976 Cadillac Eldorado, the 1971-1976 Chevrolet Impala and Caprice, the 1971-1976 Oldsmobile Delta 88, 98, and Royale, and the 1971-76 Pontiac Catalina and Granville

This style of folding top frame soon became better known as the scissor top because of the unique way it folds and stacks behind the rear seat of the car.

They are the most difficult tops to do  and usually require a full restoration of the scissor top frame. 

Its a tedious process, but you can not skip any steps or the top will not work correctly
