Default Replacing Soft Top

I’m looking to replace the convertible top on my 05 Crossfire, any suggestions on which company to purchase this from? Gahhs and Tops On Line are 2 that I saw online. I will be installing it myself, hopefully everything goes ok…lol

Numerous Crossfire roadster owners opted for the BAS roadster tops, they are located in the UK.

Buy BAS or go to a dealer and pay $2300. BAS tops are lifetime warranty and we've seen two tops fail and BAS shipped a new top with no questions asked, they also send a label to ship the bad one back so they can see what went wrong.
That's two tops out of what has to be 400-700 tops so far. (Over on Facebook, someone is always ordering a top, I have no idea how many we've bought.)

There are numerous YOuTube videos by various owners on the replacement of the top. Mine was changed for me in a Condo Parking lot back in 2020 during the Eureka Springs meet. Bob and Zach had it done in just over an hour and we all went to breakfast.

Hi Valk,
Looks nice. Does it come with instructions? Please report back on how hard it was to replace by yourself.
Thanks, sincerely
-Jerry

It's real easy if you get Robert and Zachary to do it for you, which I can tell you, is what Gary is going to do. This is a shot of the guys replacing mine, Gary is the guy in the white shirt, doing what I am doing, WATCHING.
From what I remember from mine, the instructions are written for someone who already knows what they are doing. It is not impossible for the average person, but there are a few specialty tools you need - no big deal. The REAL instructions are in the service manual - but you are WAY better off watching the youtube videos by Paul Diger, Greg Pylant and Marc Mathern. (All past forum members)

Robert's girlfriend lives in California, he is out there a lot, just sayin.........................................
