Anyone have an opinion on whether they are as good as they say? It would be a big weight savings over my glass tops. http://www.astrotops.com/68_82tops.html

I, too, am about to purchase one. It seems the only place to get them is direct? I have heard good things about them and the fact that they are lighter appeals to me as well. My porky '77 could always use less weight, especially weight placed so high in the car.

Hey Guys,
I have a Astro Top on my 79.
I've had it now for about 3 years. It has held up well. I like it for the weight savings as well as I picked up about 2-3 inches of head room as it doesn't have any headlining in it. It appears to be about 1/4" thick. It doesn't ride up any higher than a standard T-Top, it is lighter in weight also as mentioned. I have been well pleased. One thing though if you don't want your head sun burned you better wear a hat as it will let the SUN shine in on you.
