Cadillac Replacement Vinyl Tops
One of the great iconic looks through the years is the Cadillac landau vinyl top. By taking the regular metal roofed Caddy and covering it with durable vinyl material, it gave the air of a convertible, but the function of a hardtop. When you are looking to replace your Cadillac vinyl landau top, you’ve come to the right place for pre-cut, fitted and ready-to-install replacement Cadillac landau tops.
Some Cadillac landau tops, like the Calais landau top and the Seville landau top, have a full vinyl top that starts on the front top windshield and extends all the way back to the trunk and down the side quarter panels. Sometimes, this arrangement is called a full vinyl top or cabriolet top, but common language will reference this still as a landau top. Other Cadillac models, like Coupe DeVille landau top, the Fleetwood landau top, and the El Dorado landau top, have a half vinyl landau top configuration where the vinyl does not start to cover the metal roof until the midsection of the roof.
Surprisingly, most Cadillac landau top models, including Fleetwood landau tops, El Dorado landau tops and Coupe DeVille landau top, have both full vinyl landau top configurations and half vinyl landau top configurations. In these instances there are both full vinyl landau versions and also half vinyl landau versions, so purchasing a replacement landau top requires choosing the one that matches your specific Cadillac model: full or half vinyl landau tops.
Cadillac landau tops will be cut with specific fitment for 2-door models and 4-door models, so please make note of this option when selecting a replacement landau top for your Cadillac. Fleetwood landau top and Calias landau top models came in 2-door and 4-door, so this will be important when shopping for tops for these specific vehicles. Our product detail pages will guide you through anything that is important in distinguishing your specific Cadillac landau top to ensure you get the proper fit.
Sedan With Pillar Post vs. Hardtop Without Pillar Post
One additional distinction that Cadillac landau top made with their usage of vinyl landau tops is to vary whether the model package had a pillar post or not. A pillar post is the vertical support and separator found between the front and back passenger windows. If the Cadillac landau top has a pillar post, then it is referenced as a "sedan" and a vinyl landau top will be cut specifically to account for that window configuration. Without a pillar post the Cadillac landau top is referenced as a "hardtop" and has continuous side-window glass from the front windshield to the back quarter panels and the landau top will be cut for precise fitment. This package difference is relevant for Cadillac El Dorado vinyl landau tops, Fleetwood landau vinyl top and Calais landau top models.

Levant Vinyl is another Cadillac landau top material that is available for Coupe DeVille landau tops and Calais landau tops.
