So I tried to install a new top from ET and it fits for crap around the rear bow and quarter window area. Way too many wrinkles that I can't attribute to the way I installed it. or attempted to. I think they sowed it wrong and the stitches at the rear bow outboard area were done wrong. It's like the top was meant for a wider car.

This isn't my first rodeo as they say, but the first Mopar top I've installed. Does anyone have any recommendations for a top manufacturer ? I would really like to hear from someone who has done this themselves. oh yah, the car in question is my 1970 FM3 Satellite conv.

thanks

I installed a top manufactured by a company called Kee on my 68 gtx years ago. I believe I bought it from legendary. They are a supplier to many outlets. I did fit very well , but I can say it’s not easy to install without those wrinkles you’re talking about.

I know of three recent top installs that the top didn't fit & wound up getting scrapped... The solution? Robbins tops... Unfortunately Robbins doesn't sell to non-professionals...

Legendary - Kee, installed 10yrs ago, no wrinkles, still looks new. Had a pro, classic car experience, install. Best decision I ever made.

Ten years ago Kee tops fit.... Apparently they lost their pattern cause these days they don't fit...
