Ecklers Removable Hardtop
Fellow Forum Members,
Have any of you purchase the hardtop from Ecklers? What is the level of quality? Any issues with wind noise, leaks etc.?

I realize that it isn't original. That really isn't my goal.

Those Eklers ones look chintzy to me, with no trim, I'd rather invest in a new rag top for less than that.

I think Eckler's is just "sourcing" the Smooth Line hardtop:

Haven't heard good thing about them at all..and by the
time you are done with enough "upgrade" options to make
them presentable you are in the price range of a nice
original top. This is a non-starter IMO.
