It's probably super expensive to ship fedex, ups or dhl, I assume priority mail or even express mail will be much cheaper but it might exceed the size limitations of your country. I have a used one and I ship international pm me if interested

Hi Everyone,

Hope everyone has been staying warm - it's pretty darn cold here! I wanted to let you all know that Pilkington Classics is running a Holiday Promotion the entire month of December. From now until December 31st, you can take 20% off you order. For you folks, that means the Saratoga Top is on sale for $399!

To order, give Pilkington Classics a call at 1-(800)-848-1351 or you can shoot us an email for inquiries: pilkington.classics@nsg.com

Cheers and Happy Holidays!

Crank up another $300 price as before, and I'm in. I'd bet lots of others would go for another group buy, too, so why not ask Pilkington about it?

There are, however, slight finish issues on the front edge that I will need to fix.

Are people still experiencing terrible wind noise and sealing issues with these units?


Starting to thank the stars I did not jump on the $399 sale..

Hate to break it to you but even the original had some wind noise.

This question pops out every second page of this thread.

Thank the stars that these are being produced again and used are not $1000 anymore.

Wind noise is bad on both front corners. It seals water just fine. It is worthless north of 90 miles per hour. The clamps are designed incorrectly and are not adjustable. If I sandwich a nickle and two pennies in between the clamp and the frame the wind noise is almost gone and doesn't start to lift until 105-110.

Mine's been installed for several months now, all good here. Glad they're available new, glad I bought one and glad I bought it at the introductory price.

Admittedly, I haven't made any runs at 100mph+...
