Default Replacement Top

Bought by first Z and top has small rip in it. Looking for new, does anyone have any suggestions on brand they like. I prefer the cloth style and not vinyl. I am near San Antonio if anyone recommends a shop. I appreciate it guys/gals

Check out the Haartz Stayfast cloth tops. They're high quality. Usually somewhere around $700 depending on where you get it from. The rear glass is inset into the top as opposed to the rubber trim around the outside.

I bought this one off eBay:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Fits-Nissan....m46890.l49292

its GORGEOUS. Took literally 2 months to finally seal though. Cloth with the twill inside.... it’s nice! I’d buy it again for sure. Installed it (painfully) myself.

Lol did a lot of research. Found out there are only a select few companies who make these tops.... identified it and it was a Robbins cloth top for much cheaper than usual 😉

I think Robbins wants like 875 for a their cloth/stay fast top, literally couldn’t be any more happier w/ it. Can take pics if your interested (when I get to see it next... way to snowy outside her in Philly so it’s stowed away until it’s a bit warmer.

Got the same one off Amazon. Here in Texas, but too dang cold to put on now. A shop in Seguin Texas will put it on for me. Had the 5th bow motor send off to rebuild, so can't do the top til then anyway. Top was struggling to go up and down, so figured this was the time to get it all done, and be ready for spring convertible weather
