Default This was over 2 years over due...

For 2-2.5 years, I have had a hole on one side of the softtop directly behind the passenger side window. Not long after, one developed on the driver side as well. I procrastinated for quite some time about this, simply because I am not a top up driver AT ALL. But, over time, the holes progressively got worse and became a very ugly spot on the car. Now, I could have gone hardtop, but considering the hardtop I would want is considerably more expensive combined with me being a top down enthusiast as stated above, it would be quite a waste. Instead, I found the top I needed at topsonline.com and converted to a glass window as well. I am estatic to have the top fixed, and I will soon go for a window tint job on the window that will complete the transition.

Here are the pics....

Oh no way. Tim Herron didn't even want to mess with it. Found a very good upholstery shop in Shawnee that did a superb job. Can't wait to take the car back to them next month to re-uphoslter the seats in two-tone red and black material.

Did Top King do the work? That's where I was thinking of taking mine to get a glass top put on. Also how much did the installation cost?
