Not that I am aware of. Its been great for me for the two years I have had it on. Still looks incredible and I did the install myself.

Nice! I think I'll be getting one now. Any tips for the install? How long did it take you?

Install took my wife and I about 10 hours. Removal was easy and so we thought the install would be just as easy. It was not. Be patient and it will work out great. Clean everything with the top off. I would also check for bent bars/frame or other parts while you have the top off. I need to make some adjustments to mine to tighten it up but thats normal from what I hear. Adjustments to the top are done via the bolts on the backside area as noted in your instructions. Good luck.

I ordered my GAHH top off eBay for less than $700. Installed it myself but it was a challenging project.

I got lucky a month or so ago and picked up a new A5 GAHH Top w/ glass window on Ebay for $415. Got it installed professionally and it's been great so far. No problems. If you keep searching you might5eventually come across one for around that price.
