    Roadster Soft Top - NIB

    No affiliation with the seller but thought I would pass it along as I've heard these are hard to come by.

    I did purchase a NIB Tonneau cover from the seller and he shipped it same day.

    Based on the pictures, that doesn't appear to be the Rod Tops premium soft top that Factory Five has been selling and recently became available again. Based on (1) the interior pieces look different, (2) it's showing what look like "lift the dot" fasteners around the perimeter. The premium top doesn't use those. Not saying the top isn't perfectly OK or not a good deal. Don't have an opinion. Just do some checking before assuming it's what Factory Five currently sells.

    It appears to be the Whitby soft top which is a good soft top.

    The hardware looks identical to a Whitby top except that they don’t paint the windscreen channel/header bow. As far as I know they do not make a removalble rear window ether. Also, while the cost of their top has gone up it is only $2395.00, not $3400.00 as this ad suggests.

    Build thread - Mk4, Coyote, IRS, Wilwood brakes, old-style soft top and accessories.

    The distance between "finished" and finished is literally infinite.
