Convertable on Tops on E-bay

I bought a similar top from an eBay seller. It's okay, but the fit could be a lot better and the seems could be much, much stronger. You get what you pay for.

bpnorthwest.com sells Robbins tops for a reasonable price. It's probably worth the extra 40-50 bucks to get the Robbins top.
 
if the top will only be occasionally used then you might try https://www.aabestco.com

Might be the same manufacturer.
 
Unorganized, but quite comprehensive!!

Just for what it's worth, I got a top from J. C. Whitney (Witless?) which actually was quite good, good fit and had a 100% lifetime guarantee (which I used about 4 years later and got another top from them because some stitching had started to come apart) Now, maybe I just got lucky, considering some of the stories I have heard, but I feel I got a good buy on that item!
 
But he has Bugeye tops with zippered rear windows. Think sun shade.
 
I certainly LIKED that feature Jack!!! I have often thought about getting one of the boat-canvass guys I deal with to whip me up a light-weight "sun top" to replace the regular, all-weather top, using the same frame, no back window or anything, just straps to the rear top fittings! That would be perfect for the summers down here!
 
Sure would but a real top would be nice for afternoon showers, heh.
 
I bought one this winter from topsonline, but I was waiting for a warm day to put it on. It looks alright as is, but I'll report more once I get it on. The nice thing (or maybe not)is all the hardware is already mounted to it. $180 I think with shipping if I remember right.
