 I am new to this board so I'm not sure what the etiquette is for
recommending vendors. I don't see a "Reply Privately" option so I'll go
ahead and make a recommendation.

I just replaced the top on my 67 E-Type Jag with one from Autotop
superstore:

http://www.autotops­uperstore.com/

The contact is Vic, the quality, delivery, price, and support were great.
Another Jag owner had a problem - ordered the wrong, one and was able to
send it back and replace it with no problem. They supply both Robbins and
EasyOn tops, from what I understand the quality is equivalent.

Good luck,
Jim

 Get a Robbin's from Moss Motors and do it yourself, I replaced mine with a
Robbin's and was pleased with the fit and finish (I bought the middle of the
road one) took about three hours to do.

This just SEEMS to be a moderated newsgroup because we're all so civil.
Recommend away. Welcome to one of the best newsgroups around.

Note that aftermarket tops like Robbins often lie higher than
the stock one, changing the profile of the car.

 Would you be thinking of the glass window top Leon? As far as I can tell my
plastic window top sits exactly as it did before, but I didn't really pay
too much attention to the way the old top sat.

 I have a 2002 SE, and I don't want to change the top, I just want it colored
the same as the body. Has anyone dyed thier top or know someone that does
it?

 duetto motors offers tops in a variety of colors. i have no opinion of
their tops vs robbins tops (which they also sell) and would welcome other
peoples experiences.

A comparison of the OEM top down and a Robbins no-zipper top down:

The original boot cover of the '90 fits the Robbins. I'd say we're talking
10-20cm height difference. I do need to reshoot those photos from identical
perspectives for a better comparison.
