Price seems very reasonable. Is it lined? do they come in colors? I'd
like to put a biscuit/tan canvas top on my green mallard mgb.
I installed the current top on my car and the only tricky part is lining up
the top on the header. Not hard, just take your time, line it up dry and
mark well. When your sure it is aligned right then and only then apply
contact cement to both and attach.

|Hey folks!
|
|I finally got my top from Caribou Canvas last week and I'm going to try
|installing it this afternoon.
|I love the material and from what I can see by laying it out on the living
|room floor, they did a good job making it. I will say that ,as someone
|stated a while back, they only install a couple of snaps. The rear Tenex
|snaps(for Midget) aren't installed but are marked. The windshield frame
|snaps aren't installed but are marked. The only snaps that are installed
are
|the 2 pair that hold the top to the frame at the upper rear of the door
|windows. Also, the snaps that aren't installed aren't supplied with the
top.
|The Tenex snaps are reusable so it's no big deal that they're not supplied.
|I will also say that for the price of the top, buying snaps is not a big
|deal. The top looks and feels like a very good quality canvas top and at
|189 + shipping...what do you expect.
|
|So...now for my question. Does anyone have any advice or comments that I
may
|find useful for installing this top? This is the first top I have done and
|want to get it right.
|
|As always...Thank you all in advance!
