I have decided that the 67 Coronet's look the best ,( to me anyway), in dark blue with a black vinyl top. I need a vinyl top. Does anyone have experience in this area and who carries the best top to buy as regards fit and finish, not price? Any tips or threads on installation?

Thanks everyone.

I purchased the top for our '66 Coronet 440 from Dante's Parts. I think it is make by Legendary Interiors. My advice would be a) install the top with the front/rear glass removed and b) use a spray gun (i.e. HVLP) to apply the glue. I have seen tops that were installed with spray can glue and you can see the spray pattern under the top in direct sunlight because the glue does not lay down evenly.

This is a stupid question, but is there a difference in the window trim for 67 coronet with a vinyl top versus one without?

Apparently there is on the 68-70 Dodges - Part numbers were different, but when I compared the two they looked the same. Maybe the trim is spread a little wider?
