Kirby,
I have had nothing but good luck with BPNW. Once, they left a part out of my
order, but upon calling them, they sent one immediately.
I have purchased 2 of the tops you are wondering about. I am quite pleased with
them, especially considering the price. They are a thinner, cheaper looking
vinyl than the "nice" tops such as Robbins, but they work just fine. I put one
on my spit several months ago...the only problem I have noted is that the snaps
aren't very strong, and the painted tops separate from the female snap on the
reverse of the vinyl. I think this is very easy to fix with a hardware store
snap replacement kit. I figure even if I have to replace the whole top every
two years or so, it is worth it. Of course, my car isn't a show car or
anything, so functionality is my main concern at this point.
