    87 Town Car Body. Carriage roof replacement, Door handle Adjustment, Sunroof Install,

    1987 Town Car Stars and Stripes with the blue signature cloth roof. I've heard it refeed to as a carriage roof as well. Always been curious about how much I can expect to fork over for a new top. I spoke with a top shop once who told me that this car has a fiberglass shell over the roof that normally breaks when you attempt to strip the original top. Is that true? Next question. I want to atleast remove the trim that runs horizontally across the back of the top to wrap it in new material and replace it just for now. How do I get that piece off? 2 screws on each end, but it felt like it was secured with something else as well.


    Next topic. My rear door handles have to be manipulated to open. I believe the rods are out of adjustment. Any suggestions?

    Also I've been curious what it would take to install a factory sunroof/ moonroof in my Town Car if the top was already removed awaiting replacement. I want to find a factory town car unit, or maibe even something better.
