Default Source for Eckler's Convertible Tops

Three quick questions:
1. Anyone know the source of Eckler's convertible tops?
2. Anyone used them?
3. If so, are you satisfied?

I bought one from them years ago and when there was an issue, Ecklers directed me to Al Knoch. Now I just buy them from him directly and have never had a problem.

If you can catch up with them at a show (they travel all over the country throughout the year) you can schedule an install by one of their professionals. I say professionals because they install hundreds, if not thousands a year on our cars and if that doesn't make them experts, nothing does. Just be sure to schedule early and you won't be disappointed. (Talk to Melanie...)

Good luck... GUSTO
