How’s it going, brother? I got a question about my Top. I have a 72 Pontiac Catalina the top is in good condition but it don’t go up or down automatic You have to let it up and down manually the guy that I got it from said that he unhooked the relay Regulators so not sure if the relay is not working or something else is wrong. Just need your input on that thanks.

I did the samething ! But cut out a bigger peice from a Astro at the junkyard to cover my cut out but placed silicone around the cut out before I placed the cover over the hole cut out. Then used 3/8 # 10 sheet metal screws to hold the cover plate down to the floor board, worked and looks professionally done

I bought these same spindle but for a box chevy and I definitely agree it's not a definite bolt on design. Mine were from liftabrand. If I could go back I would rather use c1500 lift spindles for a chevy truck and modify them to fit on my caprice. These spindles are horribly designed.
