ASTRO Top Recommendation?
HI, I am looking at getting some Astro tops for my 76 light blue vette. I am deciding between smoke grey and smoke blue. Any recommendations or pictures of these colors would be greatly appreciated. Also do the tops latch like the stock t-tops?
Thanks,
Don Steiner

I had one for a few months. It had threaded thumb ***** for going thru the alignment pin holes above the windshield and adjustable slide brackets that caught the notch where the rear latch catches. The front thumb ***** held the front fairly well, but the rear brackets weren't anything to brag about. The top squeaked due to rubbing the center t-top support. The only really good thing I can say about it is it did give me a couple of inches of headroom, due to it being so thin. After an accident where a guy t-boned me while I was sitting at a red light, I had enough money left over and I bought some good used t-tops. Also, during the accident, since I was hit from the side, the side of my head hit the rear slide bracket of the astro top. Needed seven staples to close my scalp.
