I'm very interested in your feedback on this particular top. I will need to replace mine shortly and and am considering getting the cabrioworld canvas top but would like to hear some impressions before straying from OEM replacement.
Thanks,
Chuck

I ordered from cabrioworld and almost done with the installation myself! I have it on, just need to reinstall my interior panels. Overall, doing the install was sorta a pain but saving a $400 install makes some of the pain go away. . Im loving the glass look!! I can actually see whats behind my IN DETAIL!

^^ That's the same one that I ordered... the one w/o the rear defroster... looks good. I am having mine professionally installed since I didn't pay for it (ins co. long story) I figured that I didn't need the one w/ the rear defroster since I live here in Florida.

Did you install the supplemental straps supplied to enable the top to fold properly?

BTW, right after I ordered mine, like a day later, I noticed that the price on the website went up a little... I dunno if that's from a surge of S2K owners buying new tops or what...

yeah i used 4 out of the 6 straps, the ones that needed to sow on top of the other straps, i thought was pointless. it was $540 for the top and came with all the straps and rivets. When reading the installation instructions from some s2ki member i thought i had to go find all these straps and rivets, but i was happy that they came with them.
