Post by: FrenchInNY on July 30, 2019, 20:48:18

hi everyone,

can someone recommend a good vendor for a convertible top in NY or NJ? i own a 1970 280SL. The frame is in very good shape.
Thank you !

Not exactly in your search range, but not across the country either. Located in Maine.

I bought mine from German Auto tops--he is a vendor on this site.
John is a great guy!

+1 on GAT, got my carpets and seat covers from them. The top install was beyond my experience level, and one side was bent, hence why I took it to SL Tech last fall.

One more for GAT. John is fantastic! And the product is excellent.

I've heard that GAHH in Los Angeles is good but I believe they only sell the top and do not install. What does Gernold at SL Tech charge??

I have replaced my top twice. Not a hard as you may expect.
