Default ERA Soft Top, PRE ASSEMBLLED?

Well I've done the "search" thing and found plenty good info on ERA soft tops. Both here and on ERA's site.

I'm not interested in "fitting" one from "parts". Is it possible to just BUY one thats all ready done? My car has a toneau cover all ready so I assume the same fastners would work.

,,,,my ink pen can write a check WAY faster than my tool box can fit the top!

Ernie

Ernie,

I have a soft top. I think the layout of the lift-a-dots are consistent - so you can get the top then attach it to the C-section that goes on the winshield. I think you will at least have to do the cutout in the rear window for the roll bar and fit it to the windshield. It is not a job that even ERA seems to like. If you are anticipating getting side curtains too your should do them at the same time so the the winshield angle can be set correctly. Talk to Peter at ERA for more top details.

Enjoy your new ride!

Ernie,

You live in Hawaii. What do you need a top for?

Has the Van man lost is van? Are you trying to find shelter for him in your Cobra?

Ernie,

What are you going to do, put the top on your car for the 15 minutes that it rains every day in Hawaii? Save the money, give the "Van Man" some paper towels and a couple of bucks a month for wine.

It's for the SUN not the rain! Dang I forgot about the windshield modifications needed. I guess no matter what a guy's going to have to work on it.

Don't need side windows (unless I put A/C in it?). the horror!

Ernie,
Forget the top, just have one of the blokes from down under send you one of those outback aussie hats. Tie the chin strap on real tight and you should be set

I'm really starting to like the looks of the tan interiors. Should be much cooler than the traditional black.

Yup, gotta get me one of them bush hats!
