I purchased a Parchment top from Kee and it was spot on with the sample from the 69 Dealer manual- color and pattern
I did have an issue with the first top I purchased due to delamination which they were very responsive and sent me a new top right away Not sure why they gave you the answer they did, request a sample and see for yourself |

Thanks for that response Fred. I will call again. Did it have the correct seam widths also because what they were telling & what I saw on a friends car were too narrow on the skirt?. I must've looked at every Camaro at MCACN to make sure what I was seeing was correct.
Here is a picture of a known correct original top ..Thank you, Joe |
I will have to double check, the car is not at my house
I believe they were correct -but I will verify Thank you for the picture and measurements Question - Measurements- inside- inside or CL-CL? |
I had to blow it up but it's odd. It appears to be outside to outside on the top part but inside to outside on the skirt or center to center. I didn't do this picture. It was sent to me years ago. Let me know what you have please. thank you, Joe

After examining the picture I posted & other pictures I have, it looks like the outside of the seam on the skirt is or probably was supposed to be even with the inside edge of the back window stainless...Joe |
Update. The parchment from Kee is now off white & is too bright compared to the original sample in the dealer album. Both Kee & SMS are heavier on the grain but SMS parchment matches the color in the dealer album. I hate dealing with SMS but I guess I have to. I hope they will be able to use the measurements I've provided in the previous picture...Joe

We had SMS sew covers out of original comfort weave and were told 2 months. Many people told me to expect a year or more, we received them in 6 months worse than quoted but better than Expected?

It took them over a year to provide mohair for my 33 Chev. I guess I better call tomorrow :)

If I had it to do over... I would just order the fabric and then have my local interior guys stitch the seats from the original -using the disassembled deconstructed covers as patterns. (which is what SMS had us do - send in one old front cover the rear top and one rear bucket)

Ordered a new vinyl top from SMS today for my 69 Grand Prix and they told me it would take six weeks???
