Default Where to buy solid top?

I ordered my '07 LMB with only the transparent top. If I want to purchase the solid top, where can I buy one from and how much? I'm aware of the tops coming off but hope to eventually purchase a "fixed" one.

Tops are frequently on "that auction site", but my reluctance would be whether they're still candidates for the dreaded delamination.

I almost bought a solid color top for my DSOM coupe at Carlisle but was concerned for the same reason.

If the car did not come with the solid color top and you have a problem with it, will the dealer still repair it or replace it under warranty??

If I buy one, I'll get it straight from Fred Beans or one of the other forum dealers.

Good question . . . I think I recall reading in this forum that the recall/repair/replacement process is VIN driven . . accordingly, I think a "used" top probably doesn't qualify for coverage.

I'll certainly defer to those with greater experience . . . .
