Same thing happened to my hardtop actually- they did a horrible job. The integrity of the top is still in excellent shape though.

My hardtop is still for sale, but I keep telling myself to keep it for winter usage.

I bought my hardtop for $1200 a year or so back. I drove the car a few hundred miles to pick it up with factory paint to match my car's color (Basalt Black Metallic). Yes, I think it matters.


I would probably sell the hardtop today for the same.


If you buy a hardtop, you need to make sure the top includes the interior trim pieces and that the car is fitted with the spin locks to mount it.
