Default Saratoga tops

Anyone know of/have a Saratoga top for a 944.

This was the all glass top, tinted from the factory.

Please contact me with info.

Good luck, they are quite rare and usually go for a premium.

Just FYI, they tend to be noisy (squeaks and wind noise). That said, I have one, love it, and am convinced I can at least get it to be less squeaky if I rebuild/refresh it.

I did this once because I wanted to see if it could actually do 120+

and yeah, it take it a bit of an effort to get up there

There are several flavors - Bronze/frameless, Gray/framed, power, manual. It was pure dumb luck that the one I have (bronze + electric) is the one I would have wanted if I had known.

If you have the money, get one. Consider it a fairly rare accessory for an increasingly rare car.

Is your framed or frameless, and did you rebuild the seal?

I wouldn't mind some good close up pics of one.... so as I could make my own.

I could get some damn nice lexan, and tint for $700

How hard could it be?

Everyone else who has said that has wound up not doing it.... So it seems to be pretty hard
