Stroker | New Top! Before After New top has little rain gutters sewn on above side windows. It will bounce a quarter like a recruit's bunk. I have the back glass from old top if anyone has use for it .Has oem marking. |
katmat | Looks Great! |
Gort | looks great. |
pumpkin | very nice ------------------ More 'Pumpkin' photos and Mod Stuff . . . . . . . Our other cars and stuff "I may have to grow older, but I do not have to grow up!" "The Prowler is not a car to go from Point A to Point B. The Prowler is the Point!" |
WildCat | Looks good, who made the top? Guy out of Florida had a tan top put on his Orange cat back years ago, he built street rods and had a buddy of his make the top and included the drip rail, (should have come from factory with them) |

I found a trimmer locally who restores Mercedes. He ordered new top. The manufacturer made it after he ordered it so new material not 15 year old O E M. Every one should check their top. Mine was so dry rotted it tore like a 5yr old bbq grill cover when we ripped out the back glass. I won't quote price but installed it was cheaper than just buying top else where.

phil2237 | When my car is parked in the garage, I always leave the top UP, but not hooked in the front or rear. I have had mine now 17 years and when I lock the top down , still tight as a drum, with NO creases |
drbutton | My cat likes to use the top as a hammock. Tight? well sort-of. I have to put old sunshades on the car to try and keep her off. Yes she has a nice bed. No, I can't keep her out of the garage as the mice will invade the Prowler! Ideas? |
robin | Go to wal mart buy a cheap king size comforter and throw it on the car . Cats will never learn...... Keeps the car clean and prevent srcatches. Easier to throw on tha a car cover....robinThen one day put the top down and put the comforter on taunt. Set up camera and watch as the cat jumps up for a nap ...lol |
drbutton | Great idea! Thank you! Maybe I'll post a video. |
Drew | Was going to tell you why I needed a cat solution but it was becoming a book, so...duct tape strips, sticky side up, wherever it likes to lay. A wrestling match or two with the tape should cure your kitty too. |
NITE-4X4 | If you have problems with mice, try a bucket trap. I live in the country. The bucket trap eliminates all of the mice in the garage & the barn. You could probably use it to eliminate the cat too if you filled the bucket to the right level. |
ed monahan | I tried that with a chipmunk. It ate every speck of peanut butter and never fell in the bucket. I later saw a youtube video showing a chipmunk climbing out of a bucket. |
Gort | Do you still have rear window deice? |

quincy | good to know someone can make a top for our cars....and currently under a grand (not including installation.) |
viperkim | Try moth balls & Irish spring bars of soap and some rat poison. An old stray cat wondering around my buildings outside probably helps some too. |

You got to be smarter than the chipmunk,,,or a bigger/taller bucket, lol |

Got the rat poison, peanut butter traps, sticky pads, water trap, dryer sheets, wintergreen oil bottles, professional "rid-critter" work on the house, old-fashioned mouse traps...killed a few mice, then they seemed to outsmart my tricks. I like the duct tape idea! In Colorado, some of these mice carry Hantavirus - its killed several people in the state this year already. So the issue is one of health, too. The kitty is a mouse killer - what can I say...she ate one in 3 bites once, only 10 feet away from the Prowler (CRUNCH MUNCH CRUNCH!). Swallowed it whole! |
