To the original post...considering the company is named "Auto Tops Direct", I'm not the least but surprised that you're being charged by the manufacturer directly as opposed to being charged by the middleman.

I also believe that, as mentioned by someone previously, that buying in this manner as opposed to paying the premium typically associated with the top from GAHH carries a different warranty.

You never know, it could be that these are the tops that are perfectly fine but for one reason or another don't get sold at full price (kind of like dent & scratch items sold at department store warehouses at a fraction of the cost of the spiffy in-box item).
