    FS: Very mint OEM black convertible top

    Sweet!!!

    And honestly I'm tempted on the top but I don't see it arriving in one piece if shipped.

    Also just out of curiosity; is it a manual frame?

      I am sure it would survive being shipped. And yes it is a manual frame and the frame is included.

              Very nice. Hopefully a local guy jumps on this. All the hard work is done, just bolt it in and enjoy.

                to help you gage the market, here is one i sold a few months ago. i think the rear window on mine was much clearer and it appears my seals were in better shape. black is certainly a more popular color. i don't know how that would affect the value though.

                it went to a local guy. he paid full price, i helped him install it, and he brought along a six pack of beer in return for the installation help.

                i felt i got top of the market pricing for mine, but as mentioned above, mine appears to be in better condition.



                good luck with your sale.

                  ...wish I was closer.
                  How hard is it to swap the whole top, frame and all?

                    Its actually very simple. Remove the rear door cards and you have access to the 2 bolts that hold it in. Its about a 15 minute job with a friend to help move the top. I am willing to ship. Feel free to make me an offer, I can only tell you no.

                      there are two nuts and one bolt on each side of the top in the boot well. two vertical and one horizontal. they are 13mm. there are a few shims in there. they make the top line up properly with the windshield and also on the rear part of the boot. changing the top is as easy as undoing those 6 fasteners and putting the right amount of shims to line it up. unfortunately, setting the shims isn't very intuitive for the windshield margin. you pretty much have to add shims the opposite way that you would think to get the gasket to seal.
