1930 Tudor Top installation
I am about to install a new top kit on my 1930 Tudor. Should the padding under the top cover just the chicken wire or should it extend across the metal on the sides down to the drip rail?

My best results were done with the sun warming the fabric as I installed

Re: 1930 Tudor Top installation
If your drip rails are in good shape treat them very gently as all the repops that I am aware of are straight and it will take a skilled tin bender to put the curve in. Hidem (sp.?) is a poor substitute in this application. Not to mention that it is no longer a drip rail. I know this it not the answer to your chicken wire/matt question but for a nice looking car it should be considered. Bill G. is correct.

Re: 1930 Tudor Top installation
Thanks everyone for the all the help. I have a follow up question about how the chicken wire and padding go on the front header. I am assuming the chicken wire fastens on top of the header behind the groove that is cut into it and the ends of the wire would tuck into that groove. I assume the padding would run past the wire and end at the ridge in the visor just behind the tacking slots. Am I assuming correctly?
