I've wanted a hard top for a long time but am selling myself more and more on just replacing the canvas top with a glass canvas top (best of both worlds). I also live in an apt., so storage of the hardtop would be a bit harder as well.

I've seen the gahh, but it's a bit out of my price range. Has anyone used this:

Their feedback is low which tells me they might be a newcomer to the aftermarket top game, or simply new to ebay. Might be worth a shot?

I've also read the top replacement is one of the hardest DIY's to do. On a 1-10, how hard (one man with tools and a Daily Driver so one day turnaround needed).

General thoughts?
