swift13 Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 Does anybody have a original boot that fits correctly?? The two that i have had and the others that ive seen in pics are all popped out. I have seen a boot on ebay that is after market custom maybe?? but it looks like it fits a lot better with some straps on the back side. http://i514.photobucket.com/albums/t341/steveb1310/150.jpg Quote
ManicMechanic Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 Take a look at some factory photos...Even they didn't fit correctly! My old 1992's boot is the only one I've seen that has even come close to fitting properly. The only time my white boot has fit is when I left it in the sun for several hours. Quote
theghoul Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 I keep mine in the trunk where it fits nicely. Quote
ManicMechanic Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 I keep mine in the trunk where it fits nicely. Good plan. LOL! Mine is in my closet so I have room in the trunk. Quote
Fleeingpepper Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 Mine is somewhere in the garage. It's not worth the time, and it looks like crap IMO. Quote
arizlang Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 Mine fits pretty good but I hardly ever use it because it takes too long to put away when I park. Quote
swift13 Posted August 19, 2008 Author Report Posted August 19, 2008 yeah mine was in the garage for a while but i decided to pull it out due to the head liner fading problem ive already gone through 2 of them (headliners) mine stays on pretty well with the buttons but those stupid plastic clips always pop and you can tell from behind. from up front it looks good.

CutLoose Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 It's just poorly designed. My 90 Miata's boot is a PITA to put on but once it's on it looks awesome and fits tight, no looseness. Quote
jake63 Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 yeah mine was in the garage for a while but i decided to pull it out due to the head liner fading problem ive already gone through 2 of them (headliners) mine stays on pretty well with the buttons but those stupid plastic clips always pop and you can tell from behind. from up front it looks good. Yeah, that's the only problem with mine. Everywhere else fits pretty well but like you said those plastic clips are a crappy design. Quote
swift13 Posted August 22, 2008 Author Report Posted August 22, 2008 has any body see or bought the aftermarket one on ebay?? Quote
bucky-93 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 mine fits realy good...as long as it gets warm first. when its cooler out,it seems small.i have a problem with the inner liner staying attached to the frame. 93-blue,char intr.,blk top.25,500 mls garge kept plus 96 4dr-gold/tan int 114,000 Quote
oldscsc Posted September 14, 2008 Report Posted September 14, 2008 Mine is way too small, I've never let it get warm though. I only put mine on for shows or, what it's named for, parades. Quote
oldscsc Posted September 14, 2008 Report Posted September 14, 2008 named for?? Some people call them parade boots Quote
swift13 Posted September 14, 2008 Author Report Posted September 14, 2008 oh did not know. sweet deal Quote
kaptnjack Posted September 19, 2008 Report Posted September 19, 2008 I have also heard the term "Parade Boot" but...it always seemed to refer to a hard boot cover that could be sat on. Thanks for the memories. Quote
jake91 Posted September 22, 2008 Report Posted September 22, 2008 my boot fits good just have to push the right side of it down ocassionaly Quote
swift13 Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Posted September 23, 2008 yeah that does fit on pretty good from what i can see. Quote
BN Posted October 15, 2008 Report Posted October 15, 2008 Just bought a 93 and am learning the car. The boot is too small and is really just secured by the four snaps and the velcro and I'm wondering if there's a chance of it flying off at higher speeds since the backs not really attached very well? Quote
jake91 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Posted October 15, 2008 no it wont though i dont know what you meean by higher speeds but at 80 mph it doesnt even budge Quote

swift13 Posted October 16, 2008 Author Report Posted October 16, 2008 very true if your new we need pics!!! so we can enjoy and drool Quote
BN Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 no it wont though i dont know what you meean by higher speeds but at 80 mph it doesnt even budge Highway speeds, probably not faster than 80. I'll try to get some pics up this weekend. Quote
kbviper Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 I have the factory boot for one of my Cutty verts but bought this aftermarket one on eBay and I am really happy with the fit and how well it stays in place. The key is the two snaps that replace screws that are already in the trunk area. Even at excessive speeds the boot stays in place. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1991-1995-OLDS-CUTLASS-CONVERTIBLE-BOOT-COVER-NEW_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3286Q2em20Q2el1116QQitemZ170204481396QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories Quote
