Anybody ever use these guys?? They can take your old tops whether glass or lexan and remove the old and install nice new smoked privacy glass. Price seems very reasonable too

Never heard of them but glad you posted about them.

My 1992 Lexmar Acrylic Plastic T-top aren't warped, cracked, or scratched and they don't leak a drop of water in a Noah's ark style flood.

But looking up through them is like looking into a massive high density star cluster. It's inside the acrylic plastic or between it and the scratch resistant coating they put on them. I love how light they are but I'm just not into looking into the Milky Way Galaxy when I look up through them.

 

I just bought a set of damn near new glass tops for my car earlier today and then I came across that site. Seems like a very good price to have T Tops refreshed considering that some good used tops go for the same price

I'm thinking what I'm gonna do is the glass tops I bought will go on and I'll send the lexan tops on the car currently in and have them refreshed with that nice smoked glass

 

I going to buy these and try doing it myself.

New 89-92 Large Pin Glass T-Tops, buyer swaps their parts -3rd Gen Cam – Melrose T-Top International

 

That's not a bad idea at all

 

About two years ago I had a chance to buy a mint set of 92 glass T-tops with the bag for $250.00 or $300.00 I forget now and I didn't because I wanted to spend it on something else at the time. I kick myself in the azz every time I think back on it now for not buying them.

I'm also happy I'm a packrat and never throw away something I might on some off chance need someday. Wonder if they offer bulk deals?

 

That's exactly what I just bought earlier today on eBay. Mint glass tops off a 92 Camaro with the bag that looks brand new for $380

 

In today's money I'd be happy with that deal too.

I wonder if @TTOP350 knows about these? The company is up his way in Illinois. Knowing him he already has a dozen sets of NOS GM T-tops.

 

Yea I glanced at them and continued on then came right back and bought them after taking a good hard look at them and seeing 10 others looking at them too. I've been looking around for years for a good set of glass tops. My lexan tops are sun drenched and Star gazed

 

I sure do, have bought a few things from him ;-) spoke with him a few times on the phone, seems very nice and knowledgeable. He also had several sets of nos plastic tops at one time.

 

So based on your experience with them would you recommend buying from them?? The prices make it almost hard to not want to buy a new set of tops

 

Is it just that easy to remove the latch assembly and swap over to those new frames?? I've never once opened them up to see what's inside

 

I've used them for my C4 "glass" roof. They were fantastic, the finished product looked like brand new. Brand new. Made the whole car look newer and better and the vis out the roof now is flawless.

Best pic of the roof that I have....sorry it's not closer.

 

Absolutely 100% i would. As i said, ive bought numerous things and all transactions were great!

 

Awesome! That's great to hear. I bought a mint set of glass T Tops off eBay yesterday then 15 minutes later I ran into that website lol. But now that I know about them I might just get another set and be done with my lexan tops altogether

That pic of your Corvette looks sweet and the top glass makes it look amazing.

 

Hey guys so over the past weekend I was given a free set of glass T Tops with the smaller pins. I cleaned them up and tossed them on the car without issue, didn't even really need to adjust them even tho my Lexan tops have the large pins. But I'm sitting here wondering is there a way to swap latch assemblies from one set to the other?? I just pulled the cover off the tops I have at the house and it looks like those things are glued on with a windshield sealant or something?? Not too sure. I was able to pull the pin "cover" and spring off the rod. Any ideas or should I even bother cause the small pin tops are working great as is?? Thanks

Even tho my paint sucks and needs to get done I can't get over how much better these glass tops look. Finally able to see clearly out of them too is awesome

 

Interesting business. Always great to hear about companies providing services for our cars. I'm not sure if my T-tops have any wear, they are also in the trunk !
