Thank you, will do.

I have called around to a few local marine upholstery shops but have not found one yet that can replace the zipper. Does anyone know of a shop that can do this? I'm willing to ship the top if I can find a shop that will take it.

Thanks. I will give them a call.

Thanks, I will check around and see if a local shop might be able to handle it.

The zipper for the rear window on my factory soft top is missing a section of teeth and needs to be replaced. I have searched several times but haven't found any threads specific to replacing the rear window zipper. I found this replacement zipper which looks like it might work as it is a #10...

Thanks, I appreciate it!

Looks good! When I was reading through the threads and doing research I saw a couple of other folks that painted the outside with the same SEM Trim Black paint that I used and they looked really good. The outside of my top is already scratched and chipped in places and there is probably more...

Me too. I have had the hardtop for 3 years and just got around to doing it recently.

No problem. Let me know if you have questions from the videos.

I finished up a project to paint the interior of my hardtop black and also made a custom headliner for it. I picked up a bunch of info and tips from threads on the board, so I made some videos of the process and wanted to share them in case anyone else finds them useful. I am pretty happy with...

See above, forgot to reply to your comment.

Good deal, glad to answer any other questions that you have. So the fabric came from Sailrite and it is the "Trunkliner Charcoal". It is only $9.95 a yard, and I got 2 yards which was exactly enough to do both panels. It is the exactly charcoal/gray color I wanted and they shipped it the same...

I also made a bunch of videos of the entire process. Hopefully I will have some time this weekend to edit those and I will post a link here for anyone that is interested.

As far as aesthetics go I love it. I never liked the plain white on the interior of the top, so the black plus the headliner gives it a really nice feel inside the cab. I think it makes some noticeable difference in noise. I'm running Swamper TSL SX's so there is plenty of tire whine, but at...

That makes sense. I scrubbed the entire top with a wet (dish soap & water) 3M 7448 scuff pad, then a dry one and also went over the entire top with acetone before applying the paint. I went up to the local auto paint store and the guy there gave me a little bit of lacquer thinner to apply to the...
