Saratoga Tops
 

How many of you purchased the tops when Pilkington re manufactured them a few years back. I was the originator to get the products out again. For me, I love my top. My cab is bright inside and I can look up at the sky when I can. I have had no issues at all and was one of the best things I have done for so many. I know I feel good. Hope you all are enjoying them as much as I am.

I love mine, I had an older version and bought the newer version when they were re-released and haven't ever taken it out - also ended up selling my original / framed one as the new one fits great. Thanks for doing that!!

I have one, had a 968 at the time they re-released them, I installed it but for the most part I keep the OEM roof in, I find in the summer it's a LOT of glass. I have to pull it out of the attic and put it back in for this year....it is very nice.

Please start it back up again. I can't find one to save my life.

Contact Pilkington classics in Ohio. They are the folks who remanufactured the tops.

Hi - I purchased one of the new ones about 2 years ago for my 86 Turbo. Love it. I also bought a spare roof bag on ebay, and keep the Saratoga top in that bag. Pretty slick. I *** love *** the Saratoga top on the 944. Really nice piece of kit and have not had one issue with it in the 2 years.

I was part of the group buy a few years ago. Thanks for setting that up. I love mine.

i have a couple summer days when the sun was a bit much, but have no desire to remove it. I have been playing with the idea of a retractable sun screen. Right now am using a pair of those suction cup ones designed to protect small kids.

Apologies for off subject, what steering wheel is that you have? Year of your 944? MIne is '86

I reached out to Pilkington to get a production run going again. I'll update with an ETA, # of units, and cost in a separate post. I missed out on the last buy and have wanted one to go with my restored interior.

I am very appreciative of Stephencs601 for getting that production going. I jumped in right away and have had the top in my car ever since. There were some issues with the hardware but IIRC Pilkington sent around a kit. My top was a replacement for an original Saratoga top that had no seal left - extremely noisy and beating up the paint on my roof.

Thanks. I can't tell you how happy I am that this came to reality. I got a top and couldn't be happier.

I recall they were initially only available in bronze. Did other tint colors ever become available?

Not sure, I know mine is bronze and it is perfect for my car. I would suggest to call Pilkington classics.
