The stuff I did order - about three different shipments - came within a reasonable time.
Living in Central California at the time.

**** Possibly - tho when I have ordered, no matter what time of year, they don't seem to have any sense of urgency. They are in a HIGH employment area and possibly have problems getting and keeping good help

Got an idea what Girtz top irons cost? Their onlline catalog doesn't show prices.

**** They quoted me about 10- 15 % less than L-B, but I had already ordered my hardware so no longer have notes.Gotta call 'em.

At the time I ordered my top, they had what I considered a reasonable choice of materials and colors.
'Course, I wanted black and that made it easy.

***** Black, Green, Brown, Beige, Navy, Neutral???, Dark Brown with various combinations of each. I was concerned with the quality of the material - I got all of their samples - also, their brown was 'wrong' for my car


Not sure what you mean about the top ending at the rear bow.
Any chance you're looking at a top with the rear window folded up?

****I meant behind the top bow (please don't take this the wrong way, but like yours ) My preferance is cabriolet appearing, hiding the rear bow

My pal's 29 A roadster runs the same top and material as I do and in summer, most times the window is snapped up like is shown on my first pic above.
It is a good option and I encourage anyone who's doing a roadster top to get it.

**** Absolutely agree - tho I have A/C in my roadster (but the reason for that, well that's another long story). My rear window is fixed but the high heat days in Upstate NY are few

Airflow with the window open is greatly increased and that makes life easier on a hot summer day.

There are quite a few choices, but, IMO, it has to be what suits the individual car and its owner, and it seems HIBOY GIRL has a bunch of viable options to choose from.
