    finally got it done. Got the top on, but that was the easy part. The hard part was getting the trim off and back on without tearing it up.

    Whoever put the top on could probably redo the side moldings with the same material.

    Looks great. I'm a big fan of the Halo vinyl tops.

    I agree also that changing the side trim to black would look great (which you are probably going to do already).

    I have that project in my future. My top has failed. I may come and pick your brain for help

    got my top material from, american trim and upholstery supply.
    In tulsa. ok. Thay had stoped doing tops for cars but sold me the material. I sent them a peice of my old top, an thay sent some samples back. The grain is important mine was elk black #s/848. at 8.65/yd. But your best bet is to call 1-800-331-3913
