Default 1975 Convertible Top Replacement

My 75 vert still has the original top on it.. back widow is still perfectly clear.. but time has taken its toll on the top itself and the stitching... my question is... Who is making a very nice quality excellent fitting top with everything I need to replace the top? Anyone replace their top and are very happy with what you got? Anyone replace and would never go with a certain company again? Thanks in advance. :chevy :yesnod:

Check the archives for my post on this a month ago. I did my '69 with an Al Knoch ($149.00 on sale - normal price around $190.00). General consensous is that his are the best. DOES NOT come with any tack strips or rubber! at least front and rear seals are a must. E-mail me if you want pictures.

Hi

I ordered myne through ZIP and got a AL KNOCH carvas kit.
Worked out fine. I'm happy with it. Total cost was around 170 $, I think.
Yes, I agree, the front and rear seals must be ordered as well.
