I've got a power saratoga top sitting around. The glass and the latches are in great condition but the seal is a little worn. I don't know if it leaks. I'd sell it for $400 plus shipping.

I've been waiting for this since the thread first originated in 2007. Hope it finally comes through! Put me down for one.

Do they intend to reproduce the framed or the unframed version? I'm 100 miles from Toledo with a framed version that I would loan if I was sure I was going to get it back, (and then some).

This is how it is. I got a hold of the original equipment manufacturer, who called me back to tell me they found the original tooling for these tops. Chen, my contact there stated that they could even put the original logo on the tops. For all that looked into this prior, they may have helped put the interest back into Pilkington. I know that these will be Mfg in Ohio where the R&D plant is. They do the smaller numbers in Mfg. The first run will be a minumum of 100 units. I can only relay what I am told and hope they follow thru on what is claimed. I understand the sceptics out there, but maybe we got it right this time. Only time will tell. So, to that end, either come along for the ride and hope we can really get a good product at a price that is acceptable; or just not be part of this.

Hey everyone - kind of an awkward first post, but hey, you have to start somewhere.

But count me in. I needed to redo the headliner anyways (the liner on the sunroof of my recently acquired 951 is pretty bad) and when you factor in the cost of that plus the fact that you get a sweet glass top, it's almost free
