GAHH glass windowed top

Extra repairs and parts. Makes a lot of sense.

Wow that labor rate is really high. Of course, you can make $100k a year in SF and still be forced to live in a shack an hour away in Northern California.

It's the price one pays for living in a really nice part of the country I guess

For those who aren't too bright and live here, that's true. But those of us who went to real non-California Universities and know better, this place is amazing. I used to ******************** and moan about housing costs (I still moan about electricity and gas costs, but life goes on) until I watched everyone lose their shirts in the bust that many midwesterners like myself had accurately predicted many moons ago. Then I bought 4 houses at half priced, and I pay $0 per month in overhead to keep a roof over my head. I did have to move out of SF, but I'm only 20 minutes to my job from Oakland now, and I'm in the safe part of the worst city in America. Which is to say, I rarely have to witness murders.

Life's good in Cali; just make sure you write off all your taxes so that you're not encouraging their reckless spending.

Top completed... low quality pic forthcoming. High quality pics coming tomorrow....

Top is TIGHT fit. It's quite firm, and a little bit difficult to close, as expected. The low quality pic doesn't do it justiced (the DSLR is taking pics tonight after a wash), but the car looks brand new. Love it. Thanks Metzel Auto Upholstery of San Francisco.

For what it's worth, I was told by the company that installed mine -- one that has been doing convertible tops since the 1920s -- that I should keep the top up (closed) for about 2 weeks if possible.

The fabric that is used by GAHH stretches a bit. They said that it's simply too tight for ease of use immediately after the install ... if it feels too tight you might just want to close it up for awhile. Hard to do, I know!

Others may have had different experiences but it worked well in my case.

Was given the same advice by the shop that installed my GAHH top and it's worked out well also.
