one of my wheels isn;t holding air so i took the tire off the tires and sanded the wheel where the tire meets in the inner lip and used some steal wool on the tire and hopefully it holds air and i put 60 psi in the tire and i will see if it can hold it all by tommorow and if it can i will lower it back down to 35.

What's underneath the vinyl tops anyway? Is it painted with clear coat or just paint? I was thinking about removing mine, but don't want to repaint the roof. Don't know if I can do that though.

there is no chance that you would not have to paint, and cutlasses don't have a clear coat (stock at least)
