Re: New Top
get a pro to do it. i got my nos top from hank for like $700 and had a local shop instal it...another $700 they had it back within 3 days look better than any other top i have seen to this day. that has been over 5 years ago and you can still bounce a quarter off it. no gaps or air leaks at any speed. if its not streched just right you will ruin it when it begins to swell or flap at highway speeds. its the only thing i have ever subed out and i have no regrets. has anyone here seen the new prototype cobra????? all i can say is B.A.D. and im not a big ford fan. jdawg
