Hey guys. Everytime I put this convertible cover on its tearing up the trim it attaches to. Any fixes?

Any places/links for a better cover that does not attach to the chrome trim?

See pics below.

Patrick, did not see any closeup pics of your problem. You are hooking the plastic hooks on the outside of the trim and rolling them towards the inside, right? If you go inside to outside, they could scratch the trim.

Agreed, I don't think there is any other or better way. I don't remember ever scratching my car but I wish there was a way to remove the ding i put in my trim. Brian

Just a clarification. The tension on the boot cover is actually lifting the chrome trim up off the car.

Did you try putting the boot on the hot sun too strech it??

Ah!, you have to fold the top in a certain way to lower the stack height, so the cover is not so tight. There have been posts on 'how to fold the top" :D

I've seen it a lot and my car's pinch well trim is lifting too. I believe it's just the trim was not installed properly that is causes it to lift...

How much force are you using to install the boot?

Are you doing it in warm sunny weather to ease on installation?

Perhaps your top frames stacking height is incorrect.

Can you post a picture of how far your top folds with the boot removed?

Here is the thread I was looking for... http://www.camaros.net/forums/showthread.php?t=150799&highlight=convertible+top+lower

My top gets put down properly and my boot isn't too tight, that's why I say the molding wasn't installed properly... Same on most of the ones I've seen lifting. The most pressure put on my molding is during driving.

Thanks guys. I definitely was folding wrong to start with. I have ordered new rubber stops and will put back down when they come in.

I agree with Dennis. On my 67, the molding is pulling up - this car has undergone an amateur restoration years ago and I suspect that they either installed the trim incorrectly, or should have replaced them with new ones. On my 69, which is unrestored and has never had the molding removed to my knowledge, the trim is still tight to the body. Same boot is being swapped between the two cars.

I have not dug into the loose trim piece. Are their special brackets or something to hold it in place correctly I need to buy?

My trim is lifting(Going to fix that this winter) And my top fits perfect
