he isnt looking for a convertible top....
Al Knock, while a great interior and convertible top source, I dont think sells targa top panels.
To the OP: I believe MOST of the replacement targa tops are probably all made by the same place so most likely all of them are about 100% the same. Buy from a reputable source like Ecklers or MAD or Corvette Central and you will likely get something that will fit the bill.

Ecklers lists three in a catalog I have.
Melrose is supposed to be the cream of the crop, but they're very pricey.
The Astro 4 is the least expensive, but the reviews are mixed. They're still being sold so that has to say something.
There's one in the middle in my Ecklers catalog but I have no idea whose it is or the quality.

Appreciate your response. Another fella in a post I saw somewhere here also said Mel rose was very good. I have checked them out. They are about $150 more than Corvette central for what seems to be the same product. The Astro 4 is the lightweight offering which I am not considering at this point. Thank again!

Hi fellas
got my new top a couple weeks ago. Ordered it from corvette central. It appears, at least from the paper work that it was actually shipped from Melrose. Either way, very good product. The fit was perfect.
Thanks for all your responses.
