'65 Convertible window hold up strap
« on: February 04, 2012, 05:12:43 PM »
I am getting ready to (have created) and install a correct strap that goes in the center of the top frame in the rear just above the real vinyl window-according to Charles my July 1965 Dearborn car should have one-my top frame was replaced during the restoration and there is NO hole for the screws that attach this strap.
I have seen both an elastic and a leather-looking strap in pictures and in person, can anyone tell me for sure which one would be correct for my car? Thanks!

The elastic style is correct.  I thought Mike Murray took a picture for you?

No problem.  Probably not the best question to be asking on the hi-po forum either.    :)  ;)
