Everyone,

I was traveling for work all last week but I had some good news waiting for me in the office today - all testing has been completed, approved, and finalized. The top is complete! A few details still need to be figured out for an exact date, pricing, etc... but the sell window is set - we will begin selling the tops in early September.

More information to come in August.

Cheers!

Great news!

Any chance to get a replacement seal for a vintage Saratoga from your production run?

(I get that that is creating your own competition, so if I have to buy a new roof, fine.)

Excellent news!

You mention the selling window opens in September - is there a close date?! Or are these a product you can just order up?

looks like they will be ready just as I get back from my summer road trip - oh well will have it ready for the snow to land on over the winter

I'm in for a group buy. It'll help me a little with shipping costs.

Yes! Looking forward to looking up through a glass top!

Any possibility of tint color variations?

Every time I see this thread I wish the OP would edit the title and spell PILKINGTON correctly. :-)

Wish someone could send an electric shock down the line to these Spam *********. They keep creating new accounts and actually posting within context to the thread. This would take a little bit of time. Gotta be the one person I reckon.

"L" left out on purpose to get your attention. All in the marketing

Can you please let us know the details for buying them in Europe, when you come back with more details?

I reckon we'll want to organise a European group buy, if possible, as I know of a couple of UK forums where there's interest.

Pilkington were originally founded in England. We don't pronounce the "L", it's silent. The original poster was obviously honouring this....
