Convertible help in New York?
I have a 79 SB Vert with a very noisy top. The top was redone before I
bought the car and looks great - as does the rest of the car. The padding is in good shape (foam not horsehair) but it roars and whistles like hell. I can't figure it out and it's time for the pros. Does anyone know of a Convertible shop in NY - I'm in the Hudson valley- that could figure this out and fix it? Thanks, David |

I didn't realize there were any aircooled vw's that survived in the Hudson Valley. I haven't lived there for twenty
years and I'm still brushing off the salt. : o) You may have to scour the telephone book yellow pages to find something close by or hopefully someone on here will be able to make a more personal recommendation. Here are a couple of installers listed under Robbins Auto Top that might be close enough. You might also try the forums over at Hemmings Motor News. http://forums.hemmings.com/ EDCO Auto Upholstery 340 Old Niskayuna Rd.

Not only has it survived, there is no rust either. The last owner had the
top completely redone before I bought it 5 years ago and I completed the restoration. I believe that he had a cheap job done as the padding seems flimsy and it roars like hell. You'd never know by looking at it either. Maybe someone has an idea.

> Maybe someone has an idea. Thanks, David We have a 79 also. I don't know whether the top is noisy or not as we've only ever driven the car with it down! Good luck- GaryT |
