Re: IML: Vinyl roof on Imperials --- and headlight washer/wiper!

["Bill Watson" <wwatson5@xxxxxxxxx>]

The vinyl roof was standard on the LeBaron and optional on the Crown, which
was not built after 1970.

You won't find a 1969-73 LeBaron without a vinyl roof as it covers the
insert used to fill the large Chrysler/Imperial Crown rear window to accept
the smaller LeBaron glass.  The 1960 LeBaron also used a filler, but as
vinyl roofs were not available, Chrysler spent many man-hours using lead to
fill the space around the filler piece to give the roof a one-piece look.
If you stripped a LeBaron of its vinyl roof you would see the insert, which
I believe is fibreglass, and the screws to hold it in place.
