NO ON THE ASTRO PRODUCT - NEVER


OP - I'd shop "local" only and an alternative and maybe better plan would be to buy a good roof and the windshield header for a later model and convert yours UNLESS it were a restoration project.

This link ID's the various years and the "WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR" - rubber/plastic surround molding etc.

A "local buy" only - they don't ship well unless packaged correctly - Melrose packs well and it will arrive alive - expensive I'd think to your location.

Well, we are all entitled to our opinions.
Here is mine.
Having purchased a number of replacement tops from Thompson, and having had no problem with the top, pricing, quality, packaging, or anything, I find them to be fine.
I only buy this one:
Exact replacement for 84-96 C4 Corvette acrylic roof panels.
- Manufactured using original factory G.M. aluminum structure, mounting and components.
-Special high performance break-resistant lens for Maximum durability.Original stock appearance and tints.

While Melrose is also a fine company, and one that I would also recommend, not sure why someone thinks Thompson is not.
I have found them to be a quality replacement, always well-packaged, and delivered when promised.

While "your mileage may vary....." my experiences with them have been all pleasant.

That is why I suggested them.
just my $0.02
