Hard Top questions
Had a few questions on hard tops:
1. How much are OEM hard tops going for? New (if available) and good used?
2. I have heard that OEM hard tops are not in production any more. Is this true?
3. How do OEM compare to the Mugen and other hard tops on the market?
4. How easy are the OEM hard tops to install?
I came across the video below and it seems like it's a 2-3 minute process with 2 people.

The initial install can take anywhere from 30 minutes to a couple hours. Once that is done, it becomes a five minute job with a hoist or 2 people.
Oem will have the best fit, mugen is a close second, and all the replicas are hit or miss.

I was on the same boat as you man. My hardtop would squeek no matter how perfect I fitted it till someone told me to put some Shin-etsu grease on my weatherstripping. Totally squeekless now unless I hit a pothole or speed bump going too fast.
