Default Replacement T-Tops

Looking to replace my mirrored T-Tops (mirrored is all spotted) but leaning towards the smoked glass. Anyone have experience with Sunroof Doctor or Melrose. Seem to be same merchandise but different price. Thanks in advance.
PS did a search -- didn't turn up much

I got mine from Sunroof Doctor. Had a curvature problem with one & their customer service was excellent. I can highly recommend them.

I have bought a couple of things from Melrose including new glass tops. They do original replacment type of stuff. I have been in their shop as well. The tops you see at most all of the major Corvette houses come from Melrose. I live about 35 min. from the shop and went there to pick them up. Not only was I able to buy them, he put two guys on my car to properly shim the roofs for my car. They spent about 45 min. on it at no charge. They are Corvette guys. I would gladly do business with them again.

Default Replacement T-tops

Hey Guys
Thanks for the positive feedback. Sounds like both vendors are reputable. May boil down to who can deliver them the quickest. Have a car show on May 13th and a cruise on Memorial Week-end. Always run into showers this time of year -- maybe new ones won't leak as bad !! This forum is a wealth of information
