hey I recently had my stang broken into about a week ago and had a few quick questions. When they broke into the car they cut through my top and headliner. I was looking online and came across www.aabestoco.com and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with them? I'm looking at replacing the top with their sannedecke material option with heated rear window. The sannedecke material is the same as the twilfast according to the guy I spoke with on the phone. They offer sailcloth which is what is used on the v6s and gts and sannedecke and stayfast. So if anyone has bought from the company in the past how is the quality of their tops? Insurance is replacing the top and headliner with original gt material, but if I buy from this company I get a new rear window and the cobra top material. Thanks

Seems a little too inexpensive for a good top. I've heard good ones cost at least a thousand...

Also, I'm always a little leary about internet firms that have web addresses designed to make them appear first in searches, like adding "aa" to the beginning of the url.

Words of caution.

Replacement of top is really not for the DIY'er.

Even a professional shop will take 6 hours plus to swap the top.
