ive seen this thread, still doesnt give me a solid answer. anyone know if the robbins is alot heavier than OEM?

 

I have the ezon and I persionaly installed it about 4 years ago. I like it and it works fine. Everything fit perfectly and it's only a little over $400.

 

i just ordered OEM . mine has lasted 8 years , that pretty fair i think to last that long

 

I just did mine with Robbins top and modify straps. I don't see much difference between the Robbins top and the OEM that came on my 2006. The Robbins may be a little heavier, but not much. It also comes with a patch of reinforcement in the main wear spots, one on each side of the car. If you do the job yourself, it's a pretty big job but lots of good information on this board. Probably took me ~ 16 hrs to do it but I was working slowly and didn't mind taking my time.

 

Whatever you decide make sure you 'prep' the frame for any rough/sharp edges.and start applying protectant from day one. Good luck

 

My original oem top is 10 years old, 130k miles.

Not a single wear mark.

Key to soft top longevity is to limit sun exposure. Sunlight dries out the top, shrinks it, and makes it brittle.

If you have that big cumbersome top-down cover, use it. It is the best way to preserve your top.

All the tops I have replaced were yellow inside, from the sun.
