Hey all.

I am in the market for a new top. Have made some minor repairs to the seams since purchasing my roadster last year but now want to start process of replacement.

I did some research and see that BAS tops seem to be preferred here.

it looks like the BAS top doesn’t come with the window (unless I am missing something). I am going to have my new top installed at a shop rather than self perform the work.

I was curious if anyone had suggestions or recommendations for tops that include the window. I have seen a few online but would love to hear from the forum members.

thanks for your help!

 

The BAS tops include the window unless something has changed?

 

ENOUGH!

You are the third person to say this in the last year. FINALLY, I have GOT to ask two questions:
1) Where does this silliness come from?
2) We replace the top MOST OFTEN due to a failed back window - if the back window was not included, why would we be buying new tops?


Again , WHERE in their literature does it imply in ANY way that there is no window?

 

Hi pizzaguy,

I was afraid I would get this response and apologize if this was asked/answered before. I checked as many threads as the search could find.

I have an email into BAS to confirm its included but thank you to yourself and zeracer for letting me know it does. I appreciate the quick responses!

Since you were kind enough to answer me, see below for answers to your questions.
1) Cost - they are 1/2 the cost of most other tops I have seen - other tops in BAS's price range did not come with the window. It doesn't say one way or the other on their website if the window is included - other sites where cost is 2x as much it says on there that it does come with window.
2) I supposed there are some people out there if the window has separated than it could be re-used to save money?
3) Their literature doesn't say anything one way or the other.

 

If my memory serves me correctly they offer lifetime warranty on the window bond.

 

Good Morning,

confirmed through BAS heated window is included!

Placed an order today I’ll post some before/after pics when it’s installed

8 week lead time just under $1000 with shipping

 

Mine was $740 delivered to Hurst TExas, but that was in 2018 - before all the inflation an rise in shipping costs.
I think JSK is right, lifetime warranty on the window.

 

New top shipped on Friday.

Ended up being $775 - no VAT for US customers for was cheaper than I thought because of that.

Will post some before and afters once it is installed.

 

Top received from BAS 3 weeks early. Glass included

I decided to install after watching the videos a few times and reading everything I could find on this forum.

Took me about 4 hours total and I had someone help get the top fed through the frame to get going.

If I had to do it again I would take way more pictures of it coming apart. I spent a good amount of time figuring out how the rubber seals go back on and how the front bar holds everything in place.

Couple pics attached I am very happy with the quality price and customer service from BAS as well as the forum and members here. I doubt I would have tried this without it.

the original was in rough shape.

 

Wow what a huge difference. Congrats!

 

Nice work!

 

Looks great.
