Convertable tops

Put my gal in the paint shop this week and have been looking for a convertable top replacement. Any suggestions? It was a blue top from the factory and I have had trouble finding one in my color.

I'd try the specialty guys that advertise in Hemmings.

Thanks guys. Great prices for the glass window top. The dark blue is deeper than what I was wanting but closer than what Ive seen.

If you are going to have an upholsterer install your new convertible top, I highly recommend talking with them first. There are some convertible top kits that some upholsterers simply will not handle. And, some upholsterers make their own tops - it's possible you might find an upholsterer to make a top that perfectly matches the color you want. But, in any case, it's a good idea to talk with the installer before you buy anything.

Got mine from these guys. Very satisfied. Although mine is white, there seems to be a good selection of colors.

Good point Randy. Electron Does have a very close match for color Dingusboy. Preciate all the suggestions as this is my first convertable. Have little experience and limited knowledge of resources.

Color variance could be your monitor. It will most likely look different in person.

try these guys for your top. The blue was as close as I could find after 9 months of searching thru all the top vendors. The original blue is no longer offered by anyone...unless you find an nos one...I was VERY happy with this purchase from them.
