We appreciate the effort, Stephen.
I think most of us are disappointed with Pikington. Does anyone have contact information for Jonathan? Maybe we can reach out to him again to see if this project has been dropped, delayed or just forgotten.

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

Update from Pilkington
Hi Everyone,
Sincerest apologies for the lack of news on the Saratoga Tops. I would like to assure you the project has not been abandon and that work never ceased on the project. Engineering has been working hard to ensure moldings and hardware fit properly and that the final product is of the highest quality.
As of right now, the glass has been run and the hardware and the inner seal have been specified. The outer seal is still under investigation and requires further testing.
I know the wait is long and frustrating, but I can assure you the time engineering is putting into testing and research will lead to a great product.
Cheers!
Jon

That is excellent news Jon, thank you for the update. Please take any frustration expressed on this thread as an indication of how excited we all are at the prospect of the product and how disappointed we were that it might not have been happening.
You have a ready made set of customers here who will snap these up when they are available, any and all updates are greatly appreciated!
Cheers
