Doug,
I also think the hard top is great. I have a factory top that I paid $100 for
in 90. Although it is off the cars more often than on it looks great and
functions well. The only complaint I have about the factory top is that the
rear does not sit flush (regardless of how the weather stripping is adjusted)
and some daylight can be seen.
Good luck
Dr. Doug

Doug,
I must say you have received a varied response to your question on hard
tops. My MGB is a daily driver as long as the sun is out. In Tennessee this
means many days in winter it is on the road. The best thing I ever did was
get a Hard Top. It goes on when I can't take the cold morning drive to work
any longer and comes off as soon I as feel the itch is too great. I go from
Hard top to tonneau cover the normal top is just for emergency. (only twice
in the last two years) Yes it is a bit loud as it does not have a head liner.
Maybe I can install one to cut down the noise. My Hard Top is by
Dynaplastics and looks much like the factory option as oposed to the SnugTop
that to me is a bit more rounded or domed, it just seems different. Anyway
they seal very well and I believe are well worth the price. I got mine from a
guy that was selling the car and I gave him an offer on the top $200. Best
buy I have made in a long time. It stores nicely in the basement just waiting
for frost to set in.
Bob, 71 MGB
PS. Mine is black and looks good as my MG is a pale yellow.
