I need to replace the top on my 98 GT. I really only need to replace the window "screen" but if I am going to have it 75% off I am going to replace both. I have never done this before but feel confident it should fairly strait forward.
Where I need help is a supplier for the new top & window. I would like to stay as close to the stock look as possible. There are several suppliers, mustang resto suppliers, ebay, etc... Who has the best quality top at a reasonable price.
Also I have hear the 2000-2004 tops were better than the prior years & will fit a 98. Would anyone recommend this upgraded top?

Yes, it was a great find!!! I was going back & forth about installing myself but after reading it is a no brainer for me.
I am in Dallas & Dallas Mustang is not to far from my office so this is the the easiest place for me but want to make sure the quality is worth it.

All tops are made by Haartz so do not worry about finding the best quality they all come from teh same place.
I would suggest you go with a cloth top instead of the vinyl you probably have now. Cloth looks better and may last a bit longer but does need a bit more effort to keep clean and waterproofed. Good luck with your top replacement, your link and can do it attitude have inspired me and I may go the DIY route myself when the time comes.

So even the Ebay tops are made by the same guys? Really? I guess I'll tackle this job come springtime... Again, thanks for the wonderful DIY!
