My OEM top ripped and not at the seams, all that stretching just wore it out i guess. brother installed it for me free! =P... but he is willing to do it for you for $300. ken i'm only about 1600 miles away, in the zroadster should be fun.

jon: i took pics in daylight for ya but my work has photobucket blocked so i can't post but will do it when i get a chance at home. i have a thread with pics that were taken in the garage.

hope this helps people.
damm it i need to get mine done too..

lol if i paid for your brother would he wanna fly out to dallas for the day and do it and leave lol

everyone here SUCKS

like i told kenpo_350Z...ROADTRIP!!! haha.

2004zroadster: i got the exact same top + installed.... it is true when i first got it back there was a small gap on the back but it does stretch out, mine is flush now.
reminder: they recommend not to put the top up/down for a week i think..

A local auto interior shop in Charlotte. Did a good job, but waiting for top to stretch so that it fits flush with the back deck lid. No difference in sound from OEM.

Thanks for the feedback. I have had the new top on my car now for about one month and I still have the gap. It has been very cold though so I am hoping that the top will stretch out as warmer weather returns.

Hey guys I haven't been on the forums for a little while. I am getting ready to purchase a top and I have narrowed it down to the topsonline stayfast cloth. I just want to see if there are any other comments about it before I pull the trigger.

How hard is it to keep the cloth clean? I heard the cloth is a pain in the butt compared to the twillweave.

Thanks
