Zeintec-Zeintop Bulk Order

[yellowboxster01]

The Zeintop fits the 986, look at the pictures, it's pictured on a 986.


I will be ordering one around the first of next year.

Good info ( it is available for the 986 ) :

email sent -- I'm interested to know more.

I am concerned (like most) about the cost of the top. I think I am more realistic than some about what the final cost will be. I have some questions about the design/engineering of the product. Does any member own this hardtop?

Some questions:
- How quiet is it?
- Rattles?
- Wind-noise?
- How is visibility? Any blind spots? Is it better or worse than having the rag-top up?
- Does the slope of the rear window require a wiper when it rains?
- How effective is the defroster on the rear window?

And, by far, my biggest concern:
- Does the design of the top potentially expose the exterior paint to damage? Either by poor fit -- OR -- by tempting the owner to try to "use" the interior space created by the hatchback.

I'd like some user feedback on the above prior to making the investment in this top.

I do appreciate Chris' efforts to organize this.

Also, what is the timeframe for a decision/feedback?

$2k would be a really good price for most. If enough of us are in maybe..

Realistically, I doubt they would drop the price below the cost of the factory hardtop. They sell for 6.5k, I don't think they will drop the price by 35+ %.

@ fatmike, the zientop has wider b-pillars than the factory top, so it could affect visibility.

I would love to pay around 3k to $3,500. I am in if we can get a bulk order together or maybe they will eventually lower the cost when they figure out how to lower manufacturing costs.

time could provide for a lower price.
who knows

After careful consideration have decided that, unless the price came down A LOT (read: an unrealistic amount), I've got too many other things that I need to spend my bucks on.

Barring a miracle deal, I'm out.
