Fiberglass top

Post by 81autospider »

does anyone know of a company who is producing a good quality hard top for the Spider? :roll: ...I would be interested to find one or even a good used one would be nice :D ...my top has a long hole thanks to some ignorant BH who had nothing better to do then to play with his knife :evil: ... any advise would be nice...thanks 8)

Ive got a hardtop on mine waiting for a new canvas top. If you are tall, you will bump your head. The profile is flatter. They are also difficult to install over the convertable hardware. Sooner or later, Ill part with mine. There appear to be two types of older tops, the PF top has the rounded glass. I think IAP sells new ones.

No, Mike. After she won the best Spider challenge, her head does not fit like it used to! But she sure is challenged for altitude!

No, not taller, but funny thing was they had us drive our cars up to accept our awards and when they tried to hand the trophy to me, there wasn't any room to fit it in the car.

Wow Pope, that was such a nice thing to say. With all the help and support I've received throughout the years from my Fiat family, it was an honor to represent everyone.

Maria Denise is a shining example of everything good here in the Fiat community. I tease her to no end. But am proud of everything Denise and Ron have accomplished, and am proud to consider them as friends.
