For those of you up north I thought I would let you know it was 125.00 to ship FEDEX to the BC coast. That assumes FEDEX won't make me bend over with duty and customs charges as well; I'm dreaming

I was surprised too. They said 5-7 days so I thought next week.
Lucky Dog
Congrats
I actually called at 5:45 am PDT ... So I figured I might have beat the crowd, with the onslaught of phone calls.. Calling from the West Coast sucks ....
I guess its not based on when ya called

Enjoy

Mine got here about an hour ago, and i must say I'm pretty excited! At first impressions, I was a little surprised as I thought they weren't going to have the nubs on the outside... Also, the seal seemed a bit flimsy. After installing it, I was pretty pleased. It fits really well, and they nubs don't really bother me. As for the seal, it fits very snug. I'm washing the car later, and I really doubt any water is going to be able to get through. I should state that I did have a saratoga top on before... It was the framed version with the silver tint . That top never leaked, and it looked and fit fantastically (I took some pics for comparison with them next to each other). Anyways, here are some pics:

Here's the box (sorry for the blurry pic/ was a little anxy to get it on the car:



And on the car:






And a blurry inside shot:



Here's the new top next to my original silver tint top. I should clarify that they're both as shiny, it's just that the sun was hitting the silver top in my dining room:






For those of you concerned about the "bronze tint", it really doesn't look out of place or "dated". It looks oem, and fantastic if I may say. Don't let this hold you back from buying it.

Mine arrived today! I haven't had the car out in the sun yet, however, in the shade, I can barely tell that it is tinted bronze.

I would think it would be easier to group the orders by state instead of in order as far as shipping would be concerned but what do I know I deal with car parts and Ministry none of which ships items just people lol.
