View Full Version : I'm siked just got a astro top bruiserman 08-30-2007, 10:18 PM Just picked up an astro top for my vette for just $150 and it is like new condition with dark tint. I didn't realize they were so involved in putting on and off but has to be better than my fiberglass tops with cracked and worn headliner. Anyone on here that has found a trick to make it quick to put on and off??? If not I'll be fine but thought someone may have come up with an idea or two. THanks B C3 Starship 08-30-2007, 11:07 PM Pardon me, but what year is your Vette? Hang onto the old top, they're like gold to somebody that's lookin' for 'em. I keep all my original parts. ;) bruiserman 08-30-2007, 11:42 PM I have an 80. I'll probably keep the t-tops but won't use them. I usually keep stock parts in case I sell. Then I can put the old stuff on and sell the good stuff. wrwalke 08-31-2007, 05:42 AM No quick and easy trick that I can find for the AstroTops, but definitely make sure that you use the metal rear adjuster slide, and not the little plastic one that ships attached to the top. :D Those cheezy plastic ones break at the most inopportune times! bill. cwb 08-31-2007, 07:35 AM ORIGINAL: bruiserman Just picked up an astro top for my vette for just $150 and it is like new condition with dark tint.

What's an astro top? (if it's a name brand, spare me) Edit: never mind. I knew I'd seen it somewhere... http://www.corvetteforums.com/upfiles/5243/D202E9FCBC224571BA17BC123C9976CD.jpg cyclic hardover 09-01-2007, 11:01 AM ORIGINAL: cwb ORIGINAL: bruiserman Just picked up an astro top for my vette for just $150 and it is like new condition with dark tint.
