How to keep my soft top in good condition?
Hi, I own a 1964 Eldorado convertible since last August and would love to get some input what the best way is to keep my soft top in good conditions.
Which materials to use to clean / preserve the soft top? When you store for a few weeks is it best to have soft top fully closed and secured so under tension or is it better to close it but not to secure at the top of the front windscreen.
Thx in advance for your advise, Remco

Remco, I always kept my top on my 64 Eldo latched with the windows up etc when it wasn't being driven. I assume your car has the original vinyl type? Chemical Guys makes a product specifically for convertible tops , I think mild soap and water with a scrub brush is as good as anything. I would always install the boot when you have the top down as well, mine wasn't used too much so it was in great shape but it had basically shrunk, I had to wait for a hot and sunny day to get it in place. You have a beautiful car good luck with it ! Hope to see it in Reno 2027 !

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed

Could someone post front and back photos of the 1963 right-hand kick panel with A/C?
My car didn’t come with the original kick panels, so it's a bit of a mystery to me how I should cut the backing board and carpet to fit around the A/C.
Many thanks,

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?
