Any updates with pricing yet?

Trying to arrange a a group of busy people takes a while!! We have a rough idea planned and need to pre book some stuff early in the new year to make it work.

I might need to fix the air con (so find a compressor and sort the wiring out !) as well.

Just read about all this.
I have an original Saratoga Top and I'm in for a seal that fits mine, if possible. Any idea of the prices yet?

Hey Everyone,

We did indeed run some fit tests last week and the week prior. The top looks great and the hardware fits correctly. The seal, however, still needs work. We will be running some more weatherproofing and fit tests soon.

I've attached a couple of pictures from the test - nothing to exciting as they were taken to show fit and not appearance.

Cheers!

Jon

Jon, are those pix with the seal in place? or will the seal fill the gap between the sunroof and the opening?

Default Saratoga top

does anybody know if they do succeed and I hope they do in remaking them where will we be able to buy them and I hope it's between 250-500 price range

Have the original Saratoga top but the seal is done already but would rather buy a new top

I share the concerns of PEvans.

Will the seal fill the gap between the sunroof and the roof of the car? The way it sits now, that fit looks horrid.
