    I have been told by many that you can get the best reproduction top through this company. You need to be sure you know what you want before you order, such as proper date code, correct color, proper length of ribbing, correct stitching, and correct heat sealed rear window.
    Hey Terry,
    Apologies for my ignorance, but what do you mean by "proper date code". Don't I just tell them the year of my car?
    Cheers,

        Fabio -

        They'll want your VIN or the build date code on your trim tag so they can properly heat-stamp the top manufacturing date on the vinyl rear window.

          Terry,

          I will try to get out and get a few pictures tonight of the areas you mentioned on my Al Knoch top. Although not there yet, I eventually want to get mine as "original" as possible so I hope it is a good reproduction of the original.

          Regards, Todd

            I picked up several pictures last night but could not get a good one of the embossed window. I need to get it out in the sun and see if it comes in better. Here are a few of the top detail. Hope it helps.

              Todd,

              Thanks for the pictures. I think your top looks very comparable to the original. I would like to see the label and date coding in the rear window if you have a chance. Your installation looks great too.

              Thanks again,

              Terry

                Talked with Al Knock interiors. Make sure if you order the top kit you order original style windlace. It will cost about $40.00 extra and the date coding is $75 extra.
