Do not order from Julie. She is in financial distress and she is living off our down payments. Dodgy. She never delivered mine. Haggled her for 12 months and she returned my money. Others are not so lucky. Dog at my homework stuff. Walk away. @RevISK is working to be a supplier/rep for similar tops from Colombia. Might want to ping him.

Thanks for the intel. The owner of the TekTEQ cruiser is thinking about one. I will pass it along.

Thanks for the mention CD. I am a low-key supplier for TROA out of Columbia. I have sold several tops and some parts and panels. I have a TROA soft top and have been very impressed with it plus they have made some improvements based on feedback I have provided.

Do you have a separate thread you can link where I/we can ask questions instead of hijacking Craig’s thread?

It's all good you guys. I've heard the horror stories concerning Julie and I consider myself lucky that I got mine although it took well over a year. RevISK the material that is used on my top/doors is Haartz Sailcloth Vinyl 38 oz. I was able to source it from GAHH Automotive in North Hollywood fyi.

Got the doors done and on the cruiser....I had a very difficult time trying to get the wing window weatherstrip back in place without some it falling apart on me. There was someone out there making new ones at some point, but I think they're all gone....anyways here are some pics.

Bummer. I don't know of anyone else making them.
