Re: Need soft top parts for concept sectional rigid top
Black94,
I'll chime in here to answer some questions. First off, all tops are painted to match your car. Also, no problems shipping anywhere in the world. I just sent one to Germany and it looks like I've got one going to Japan soon.
Unfortunately, the Gen 1 cars do need special side windows to fit the top and has a larger up front investment for the whole package if you don't already have a set of windows. The good news is, once you have this set up, I don't think anyone here would ever want to go back to the soft top so having v-mania windows that fits both tops should not be a real concern. However, if you have a solid top that you also use and want the windows to fit both then there is a problem. Re-selling them, as stated before, is only going to work if the buying party is interested in a trunktop. There may be a slight ray of hope with gen 1 cars using the gen 2 top. I'll get to that in a minute.
The first gen2 top is built and and is out for paint. The top is styled a bit different than the Gen 1 due to the higher b-pillar so the cut at the rear of the top is higher. Not a noticable difference unless the two cars (g1 and g2) are side by side. The gen 2's also have to have a special side rail underneath for a weatherstrip runner that follows to the glass at the front curve. I might be able to make the Gen 2 top work with the FACTORY side curtains as they are more pliable and have a huge cushion/weatherstrip seal to allow for any fit variences. I sold my curtains so I can't check it right now.
If your a Gen 2 guy, you just buy the top. Simple enough. All tops have a 100% guarantee so if you decide you don't like it send it back for a full refund.
