This soft top system looks extremely similar to the one on my '84 Escort Mk3, including the points of failure unfortunately. I couldn't find videos of the replacement process on that, so I'm very glad I found this. Might try to tackle it soon!
Very nice job, my father just did one. Would you happen to know why the rear cable might have extra slack? Even after tightening both bolts. Like The cable did not get tight and seat the edging inside the pocket if you know what I mean.
I think this was the place. gahh.com/convertible-tops/car-tops/volkswagen-1980-1993-golf-rabbit-top-cabrio-top?_gl=1*1odno0*_up*MQ..&gclid=Cj0KCQjwmOm3BhC8ARIsAOSbapXLU8Hq_TG7zcN98wc2s3FMTAwG3tPdag7MSyT2Dkm-Nr-Wn3e0e9AaAtE9EALw_wcB

Best of luck. It should help. Most tops are similar.
I wish I had seen this! I just dropped off my 1992 to get it done professionally. Nice work!!!
Very nice work Bryan from Alliance Alberta Canada
You have a great amount of patience. Much respect! Such an inspiration.

May God Bless you. Thank you Sir.

Sorry, this was my first one on a Cabriolet. It is very similar to a Type 1 Beetle which I have done before and the cable was a lot easier to tighten.
@@bryansprojects3570 thank you
I just acquired my 1992 Cabriolet and I also need to replace the top, Insulation, and liner. Where did you purchase the top?
I think this is where I got, but shop around.

Could you provide the place where you got the cable for the new top?
I think this was the place.

Very informative video! Planning on doing one as well, was this a vinyl or fabric top?
It is vinyl.
Nice work man.
Thanks!
