Which replacement top to get?
Well, it'stime to replace my top as I have a nice rip on the passenger side. I tried to repair it b sewing it, but it just started to rip around the stitching.
I plan on getting the Robbins replacement top, but what is better the OEM material or the cloth material??

ive heard you want to stay with the OEM material.
if I were to get a top I was going to get the EZ-ON one. topsonline.com has them but jeremy found them cheaper on ebay.

ebay is where i got mine from. Its an EZ On brand, quality seems to be top notch from the initial inspection. Should be installing hopefully next week once i get my car back and give a better review of it. I paid $468 shipped from ebay seller hindsightseeing He has great feedback and i can even give you his cell phone number if you want to call and ask him a few questions before a purchase if you decide to go that route.

Robbins top on my car has had no problems since I bought it almost three years ago.

I like the looks of a hardtop, but I enjoy being able to put the top down when I want, hence the reason I bought a convertible...

Who is installing your top? Don't take it to Apple Honda.
they will simply take it to York County Tops on Sherman& Phili. . I know this because one of my good buddies is the top mechanic at Apple, and the the last top they had to replace turned out to be too much for them. They took the old one off and took it to YCT and the guy was pretty pissed because he received it with missing hardware.I saw it after it was installed and it looked great. I also know of another guy in Manheim, who is supposed to be really good at tops.Very much a perfectionist.It seams a lot of really good specialists are around the Manheim Auction area.He does a lot of high end cars. If you do have York County tops do yours, will you tell me how it went? I will probably have him do mine when the time comes. I almost forgot. I spoke w/ him about Robbins tops verses oem .He installs a lot of Robbins tops and likes them He also says Robbins is oem on most imports.They are cloth unlike ours being vinyl though. He said cloth needs a little more attention, and most likely won't hold up as long as vinyl. I will go oem.

I install tops out here in New Mexico. I would recommend a EZ-ON top and the upgraded material is always a nice touch because you can get it in a variety of colors and it last longer as well.
