The Hog Ring - Auto Upholstery Community - Umbrella Convertible Top 1

Why the owner didn’t just spring for a car tarp instead is beyond me. But judging by this second photo, improvised umbrella convertible tops are actually a thing…

    Retired… Had A Car Dealer Try To Sell Me One Of The New Hard Top Convertables, In Which The Whole Back End Of The Car Flips Back And The Top Folded Up And Droped Into Its Retired Position. All The Time He Was Talking About The Car I Kept Thinking Electrical And Sensors Going Bad And Then I Tought what About The Perfect Storm Where The Top Was Down The Sensors Went Out And The Battery Went Dead. I Said No Thanks. Kept My Miata Which Has The old Pull Up Roof.
