Convertible Top Time

I'm ready to replace the convertible top on my '71 SX and am looking for any recommendations. Which kits work best, and any repair suggestions while I'm at it. But most important is finding a good shop in the Phoenix area if anyone knows one. -thanks

The top on mine came from Kee, ordered from Year one. The shop that did it did pretty well, but were a half inch off, so it is a little struggle to latch it. Fit around the rear windows could be better. However the top quality is very good with glass window (preferred over the cheap plastic.)
Finding a reputable shop is the most important - one that has done many of these old cars and are familiar with them. Buy the body manual so they will have it available, too (as if they would read it anyway.....)

Before you buy a top kit, determine who you are going to use for installation. Installers have their favorites and won't install kits they don't like. Also, some installers make their own convertible tops.
