Question Fiberglass Targa Top

I was just wondering if anyone has installed the fiberglass
Targa Top? How it looks, fit, air noise etc...

Do a serach on this board andf you will find the answer to your question. It's been discussed when the top first was available and several owners even posted pictures of their cars with the top.

I bought one of the first JMpro tops when Pelican started selling them. They bolt to your existing targa frame after of course your strip the old top off. I didn't like it at first because I didn't understand all of the dynamics at work with a targa top, there are MANY adjustments to make it fit right and seal correctly. If any of your seals are worn, you will need to replace them when you install one of these tops. Give yourself at least and entire weekend to do this job. Go slow and be patient. I really like my top now and would recommend it.

The big variables are:

Front pin adjustments
Rear pin adjustments
Frame adjustments
Seal adjustments and potential seal trimming
Potential Latch adjustments
Window stop adjustments
Fixed wing stop adjustments.

Search the archives for more info.

Do a search. I think one of the guys in England just installed one, and painted it to match his car. Though I like the "rag top," I must admit his looked pretty good!
