Bud, when I had the top put on my wife's MGB, it was not exactly a perfect
fit. Not bad, but not perfect. The installer said I should have had him
order it as then, if there was a problem with it, he could send it back.
The price he quoted me for a top was literally within a couple dollars of
what I paid. There was nothing he could do for me on the one I provided. A
lesson learned.
