Convertible Top Source

At the risk of beating a dead horse, I highly recommend Duetto Motors for convertible tops:

They have Stayfast cloth tops for only $300. I put one on my '69 and can attest to their quality.

I have used World Upholstery for several top/interior parts on a number of cars and have always been happy with their quality and value.

Can't complain about World Upholstery. They screwed up my order and promptly refunded my money. That's all I can ask.

I bought a cheap vinyl ebay top and it fits great. The binding around the seams is rather thin and the glued seams all came loose, but its still a decent top

Recently I acquired a vinyl one from an ebay seller store called Diamond Mall and with that said and nothing to compare it to, it fit very well, went on without a hitch and is of (IMP) great quality...

I bought the Diamond mall one also. It's the only vinyl top I've had, but it seems good, especially for the price. I have one car with a nice cloth top and one with the vinyl. The vinyl one looks and fits really good, but it takes longer for the wrinkles to go away. The cloth one is tighter to latch, but doesn't wrinkle as much, although it's harder to clean.
