I quit buying from Year One 15 plus years ago.Year One really robs you on shipping.My Dad's friend was going to order from Year One last year.I told him not too because of shipping cost.He did not listen and then when he got his small parts He was very upset about the shipping cost.He went as far as calling Year One and complaining.

For a convert top I would use Legendary Auto Interiors.More than likely that is the name brand Year One is selling for their tops.

Oldrunner I purchased mine through Legendary Auto Interiors when they were having their holiday discount this past Christmas, I purchased it from them because of the discount and I also ordered all the interior soft goods at the same time. Not to take business away from them but the tops they sell are from Electron Top, www.electrontop.com. I have not installed it yet but it has the glass rear window and seems the be the same grade material as the original. Good Luck!

I would check with Dantes. He is a great guy to deal with and sells Legendary stuff cheaper than you can buy direct.

There are many companies reproducing convertible tops. The quality of the top you intend to buy has to be the most important factor to consider for your needs. Year-One is a company that is actually just a middle man that buys the top from the company that made the top and then adds their profit to the price they sell it to you for. I have sold and installed many different top brands over my 40+ years of doing automobile interiors. There are many good brands on the market. The ones I use today are all guaranteed for 8 years and are of the best quality. They come in many colors and grain patterns and are the correct replacement for the original, or you can get a custom one made specially to fit your needs. If you would like more information on this PM me and I'll give you more details.

I called Year One, they say the tops come from Kee Auto Tops in N.C. , anyone have any info on them ? Thanks

I buy my Kee tops from Kee Auto tops, very high quality products at real price. I get the electron brand through one of my fabric suppliers. It is also a good quality top and I have installed both of these brands of tops without any problems. There are also a lot of other top makers out there, but when I order a top for one of my very own convertibles I get it from Kee as I like the 8 year guarantee and the speed of their service. Also another interesting fact is Kee also makes the vinyl tops for our cars (and all other brands of cars) in most colors and grain patterns.
