1980s 1984 Eldorado Biarritz Convertible Top Issue

[1bad65]

Hi. All,

I recently purchased an 84 Biarritz convertible and the top is not sitting right in the rear corners (See Pics). One side appears to be missing a plastic "L" shaped piece that the top attaches to and the other side seems to have come loose.  Has anyone experienced this before and know where I can buy the missing plastic piece? What could be done to fix this or do I need a new top? Appreciate the help and guidance.

I've owned two Biarritz convertibles of that model year, and "shopped" dozens--- never saw that problem... could it be that that rear window in yours has been replaced or perhaps the top was replaced and not appropriately installed.  These cars were very expensive, and my last one, an '85, had the original top, had 200,000 miles when I sold it, and the only top issue I had was having to replace the lift rams.  Hope this helps, James
