Hey David,,
I too have been looking at replacing my top.. From what I've seen from previous post the heavier material is a better product but the top may not lay down as nice as it will with the lighter material. IMO, I feel if the car will be stored indoors the lighter material will be fine for me..
I would also like to know if anyone has tried to dye a top? If so, Does it hold up? What product was used?? etc..

Thanks, Joe..

32oz with sewn window is stock, all others may or may not be OK with top mechanisms.

I went with the heavier top and hate it, its a bitch to get the boot on as said above the top does not lay down far enough and it also pulls the top trim harder than I'd like but I'm going to live with it since I allready paid to do it. But it does sure look nice up and should last longer than me.

I went with a custom cloth top and it lays down better than the originals.
