Recently from TDS I ordered a new striker switch, reversing switch, and nylon guides for the pull-down unit on my 87 IROC.

Shipping was prompt, and communication was good via email and phone.

The product was good quality and included good installation instructions. Prices are not cheap, but worth it. I will be a repeat customer.

AAAAA+++ Rating on TDS

The first item I purchased was the flip rods for my Vert top. As far as I know TDS is the only place you can get these. Since then I have purchased various other parts.

Everything I have purchased has been first quality, shipped fast, and all transactions have been easy. Lon has been great in Email and on the phone with any questions.

Top Down Solutions is a great source and not just for verts he has unique parts for all thirdgens...

TDS is great. Met the owner at Thirdgen Nationals 03. Bought a wonderbar from him.

I totally agree. When I bought my 88 GTA a year ago, the headlights were screwed up. Went halfway up, or looked like they were blinking when I was driving down the road. New headlight motors are over $250 each. I needed two! Found TDS thanks to this board and called Lon. He said his headlight repair kit would fix it. It was $20 shipped to my door. Just some bushings, gaskets and instructions. I was skeptical at first, but it was a snap! Had it done in an hour and my headlights have worked flawlessly ever since. I love it! What is a wonderbar? Anyways, I HIGHLY recommend TDS. EXCELLENT customer service! I had it on my doorstep a couple days after I ordered. Fast. Whenever I see anybody driving around with screwed up headlights and ask them about them. They say they want to get them fixed, but the motors are too expensive. I always recommend TDS. I have the handy little pocket knife he included in the kit on my keychain with all his info. If you see any old firebirds or TA's with "crazy eyes", tell them about the TDS headlight repair kit. $20 was a WAY better deal than $500+! Matt

Another top recommendation here. Bought my SFC's from them. Very professional and courteous people. Wish I could say the same about some of the other sponsors on this board!
