Default Targa top advice

My 84 targa top no longer fits properly. We have replaced the rubber on the car.

So now it's have the top rebuilt or replace it with a fiberglass top.

Any recommendations & vendors would be appreciated.

I have the Pelican Parts fibreglass top. Looks great when sprayed to match the car (especially if you spray the rollover hoop too). The only drawback is that there is more wind-noise than with the original top once you get above 85-90mph. However, I rarely have the top on when driving, so it's not a big deal.
