I love this top, and no problems when putting the oem tops on top of the velcro.
It is also easy to take off the velcro, and put new on next time you want to use it. Velcro tape is not expensive.

Soft Top For a T-Top
Well I found one and when I get it I'll let you all know how well it fits. I'm disappointed in the aftermarket on this one. This is not "rocket science". The only one I saw out there was a over priced model that used Velcro!! Who in going to stick on Velcro on there stainless polished trim of the restored Corvette! AL.

Soft Top For a T-top
Well, I got my soft tops for my coupe and they look to be well made! There made by a company called Amtop inc out of Troy Michigan, has any heard of this company and there product line? Are there still around? These tops have the triangle female post to receive the male triangle bolt on my pillar. I suppose this was a lucky find, any input on this? Thanks! AL.

Soft Top For a T-Top
Doug, looks like they will fit because of having the triangle receiver post on the top it self for the pillar stud and the nice thing about these is the plastic coated supports and post tie downs and no Velcro to stick on my stainless trim. As I told Tim I will post picture to show what I got. I still can't beleive I have not got more post on this one, AL.

. These are not easy to find and still can not understand why no one makes a well made set, there has to be a demand for these! The new ones I see use Velcro and I feel this is a cheap way of manufacturing them. Take a look on the way the Amtops company built there set, no one builds these like this any more, AL.

They also have a hookup to the triangle bolt, and they also mount through the front corner holes, with a stud and a plastic tightening screw. So, they will never blow off.
