I've got a factory Mopar replacement fiberglass top for a gen II car, BARE NAKED. Outside is primer, inside is semigloss black. This top needs weatherstipping and latches, and maybe a headliner if you're picky.
If you have a smashed top, I am willing to buy the hardware off of you to make mine work, OR if you need a new top, I can sell you my naked top to get you back on the road. Does anybody know anyone that needs to negotiate a new top?

thanks

I have a messed up SOFT top. I wonder if you could swap the hardware from that?

I could make the latches off my broken gen I softtop work with a little fabrication, but I don't know if the gen II latches will just bolt in or not. I'd rather not modify a perfectly good gen II hardtop.

I've got a cruise this weekend, so I'll compare hardware to some other genII cars. Hopefully the weather won't be perfect so people will take their hardtops and softtops.

If they do fasten differently, then I'll definately need some gen II hardware.

I didn't say so before, but this isn't going to go on my yellow car. I got burned on Ebay, they said it was a gen I top, but I didn't realize it for 4 months! Now I'm just trying to get something together to sell/negotiate so I can buy the new folding hardtop.

First $750 gets it to your door!

Anaconda, is it possible for you to post pictures of those soft-top latches. Unfortunately, noone in my club showed up with a gen II softtop for our cruise today.

thanks
