Well, I've got one on my son's B, and I have the following comments:
1) The lift-the-dot fasteners used by Caribou have to be the
cheapest grade known to man. A couple of the ones on my son's top have never
worked, even with several attempts by me to correct them with a pair of
needlenose pliers.
2) There are several places where the snaps are not
pre-installed - the door post snaps and windshield snaps in particular.
Caribou doesn't provide the snaps, either - you'll have to find them on your
own and install them yourself.
2) The guy who installed it for me says it's the hardest top
to install he's ever dealt with. Makes me glad I didn't try it.
On the plus side, it looks great and shows no sign of fading yet!
