    I need to replace the soft top on my '66 Tux. It still has the original top although seams are shot and one window is cracked. Any recommendations for a contact,fit,look,price,etc. Peace to all. Thanks

    Not much choice - either you buy a Bestop or try and find something NOS or used...

    To bad Kayline sold. They had the best tops out there. You could try a good boat shop if you are trying to stay original. Providing them with your old top of course for keeping it right. Other than that your stuck with bestop (yuk). I hope they have improved their fit since I installed the last one.

    I had a guy quote me a price for a top here locally at around $700 if I could provide him an old top as a pattern. Not much more expensive than Bestop, and it would've looked original. YMMV.
