Stafast material convertible top? any good? what is OEM rated?

the guy said these tops are made of a material called stafast which OEM. ok, first question is what is oem? is that like factory or even better? second a price for that top with a glass window is $369, and $306 for a vinyl window. is that any good? i want the canvas factory type material instead of a vinyl top. like i stated in the past, i have a chance to get a factory top with a vinyl window though for $375. which would be better? i would prefer a glass window though.

OEM means "original equipment manufacture". In other words, factory. I dont see how you could use a glass window, because on my 89 the window has to fold in order for the top to be stowed.

here is their information and website

Stafast is the material that OEM tops are made from. The OEM tops will give you a 1 year 1,200 mile warranty. E-Z on will give you a 5 year unlimited mileage warranty. Stafast is made from acrylic fiber.
The auction related price for that top in vinyl is $183 w/ a vinyl window and $306 w/ a glass window. In Stafast (cloth) it is
$296 w/ a vinyl window and $369 w/ a glass window. The glass window needs to be folded down before the top goes down.

See my website at http://aabestco.com.
