Targa Hardtop Alternatives
OK, I feel compelled to resurrect this debate, as I've been wanting a Targa hardtop for some time and am ready to pull the trigger. AFAIK the choices:
- Kaminari fiberglass top (previously sold by JMPRO, also avail in carbon fiber), this requires the factory soft Targa top frame, install nicely written up by a fellow pelican - - factory Saratoga hardtop - I've eliminated this from consideration. Difficult to find, too expensive Please post if anyone is aware of other options. Also, it's been over a year since the latest feedback on any of these tops. Anything from a more recent purchaser would be great, as well as follow up reviews from anyone who has had their hardtop for awhile now, just to see how they are holding up. TIA for any input.

Not a lot of input here.
I was the "beta tester" for the sundialent top here on PP and it was terrible. That said, I hear that the newer versions are stiffer and thats a good thing. Mine will not drive over 40 mph without it pulling away from the windshield frame, and anything over 60 was unsafe. Would love to hear if its been upgraded or any other options. Joe A
