Everyone you ask will tell you that aftermarket t-tops are a bad idea and so are OE tops installed by an outside vendor. The main points are always structural integrity and leaking. It seems to me that if a top is installed into a structurally unsound roof, it's bound to leak. I understand this. But why does no one with some experience try to solve the problem instead of just saying it can't be done. The factory does it everyday so, IT IS POSSIBLE! I don't see any reason that the same principles applied at the factory cannot be applied at a later date to acheive the same results. Has anyone ever looked to see how the car is reinforced? If so, can someone please share that information with the rest of us? With budget constraints and everythiong else, for me, it's not as simple as going out and buying another car with tops. Thank you for any input.
