Re: New/aftermarket tonneau piece?

I still have the box with the top in it. It came from Paradise Motors out of FL, as far the tonneau it came out of CA. I'd have to go thru paperwork to see if I kept the notes I got from ASC.

Re: New/aftermarket tonneau piece?

Because of the size I'm not to keen on packaging and shipping, but maybe what I can do is take it to a UPS Store and see what they would charge to package and ship. What is the zip code?

Re: NOS complete convertible top with frame on eBay

Does anyone know if the design/measurements of the top were changed through the years? I guess I'm looking to find out if this will fit 87-92 or I might run into problems w/ a 89.
