I may be wrong, but I think that Parrish has been taken over by the following:
Smooth Line
2562 Riddle Run Road
Tarentum, PA 15084
Phone:724-274-6002; FAX 724-274-6121.
I bought a used top and it needed a new seal and I got one from them. It
was a bit expensive, and took a while, but at least I got it. I would be
interested in the answers to the rest of the questions as I have the same
problems with mine.
