Re: [Chrysler300] 300 "L"

Johnnie and all,

There is no known source for the correct pattern vinyl for the '65 MoPar line.  Chrysler did a very good job cementing the vinyl to the tops.  There was no padding between the roof and the vinyl, and therefore it was sealed very tight to the roof with no air pockets.  As a result, they did not have the rust problem that a lot of GM cars of the era had.  A lot of '65 GM cars developed bubbles of rust under the vinyl.

Of course, the problem with attaching the vinyl so well is that it is difficult to remove.  Anyone with a decent vinyl roof that has not been baked and dried out from the sun (in warmer regions) should be very careful to leave it in tact and work around it with any restoration.  You will not be able to replace it with the exact pattern as far as we know.

  Does anyone have a power antenna for a 65 for sale and does anyone know of anyone who would provide and install a new mast for same as mine goes up and down but has a broken mast. Also where would I get the correct vinyl top for a "L" ?  Thanks----Johnnie Slayton
