Looks nice! I need one for my 68. Would you mind telling me where you got yours and how hard it was to replace?

Thanks

Sure it is an Al Knoch Top....which I am told is one of the best for the vinyl style........supposedly they fit better as well....I found a guy that did the top and ALL the weather stripping for 250 bucks here local which I considered to be a bargain.Thanks for the compliment

Wow, that is really sharp. The black works well with that exterior color. What color is the exterior, exactly? It looks like a nice red wine!

Black Cherry describes that color well. That really is a beautiful color.

I just had a new top put on my 75 too. It feels great to have a new cover doesn't it?

I especially like the new rubber around the windows and top not to mention it seals like a coupe now as opposed to rag top....The old top was in decent shape I just never really cared for white

I did notice that the rubber around my windows does not fit perfect. There is a gap at the top rear of the window and water will blow in. Do you know how this is adjusted? Is it the door or the top. I didn't put in new rubber but the gap is too big to fill with rubber anyway. The door shuts good so I don' t think it is out of align.

Thanks

Andy
