[Spridgets] replacement top

[Larry Macy]

FWIW,

I bought a Prestige top for my Midget. <http://www.prestigeautotops.com>. High quality, fits great. I got the one with the Zip out rear window. Not too hard to put on, but make sure you are fully lined up BEFORE the glue sets ;-)

I do not know how it works in the rain as I have never driven it in the rain since the top went on. And now I have to wait for it to get fixed, AGAIN.
