Sorry to hear Curt
I doubt there will be anyone who takes car of the car better than you?
Wish you the best of luck, if you go that route

Got an idea let me borrow it for like 2 weeks and if you miss it you know to keep it. If you don't then you know to sell it or donate to a nice young lad thats held it for you

look at this auction on eBay for an original smoke grey Saratoga top

http://www.ebay.com/itm/161107640089
Now that looks perfect, why on Earth would the news ones be bronze??? I have yet to see a picture of the bronze. Is there one posted?

Honestly the bronze doesn't look that bad from what I've seen especially if you car is more of a neutral color like black, silver, gold etc.. I'm debating on whether to get one or not tomorrow. My money is tight and I feel like for 360-410 bucks I might enjoy other parts more. I'll call in the morning and see what the total is with shipping if it stretches me too much I'll buy something else I want.

Who cares what color they are it's been a long time that they made things for all the people who indeed been waiting for them to come out with them again it doesn't matter as long as the seals are better then the original seals it's fine by me Idc if it's the same color as the one as I have who ever still own the original tops know that the wind noise were horrible the seals got bad and hopefully they can have seals to put on the original tops to get them in better shape ya just hating ya can't caugh up $400 for these tops but who ever appreciates their cars and have the original tops know these make them look Better then ever

Well, firstly. Anyone who cares what their car looks like cares what color the top it!


Secondly, the posts above say 100% to original specs. So I would have zero expectation of them being "better" in anyway from the originals.

At this point, I'm honestly not even sure they are new, just unsold original parts......probably due to the color

I for one care a lot about the color! I will buy one anyway, but sure wish gray or smoke was an option. I sure hope it seals as well.

That is why I am not ordering one for the FL car Eddie, too much rain there, but in Cali I think we are pretty safe.

well said. no original Saratoga top ever sealed to the car; if the new tops seal correctly, color options would be gravy....

Too bad that all questions about shipping these stay unanswered. I understand just collecting is more easy. But if i should get on a plain just to get my sunroof it would be somewhat expensive
