terrdl28Does anyone know if there is a place you can ship your acrylic top to, to have it refurbished?

You could try "County Corvette" in Pennsylvania.
Maybe also reach out to Mid America Motorworks.
terrdl28I didn't see anything for targa/acrylic top refurbishing from either of those vendors, but I found Corvettetops.com that specializes in it. $450 for what I need, plus shipping.
I'm going to ask them if they can go a shade darker than what I have to help with heat. On longer drives it can become a hot incubator and I don't have a solid top. I may also look into some type of window tinting, but that wouldn't solve the crazing.
NorskyYears ago I bought a static cling film from MidAmerica for "The Beast". It was a polka-dot pattern that helped a bit. Didn't blow away either when the windows were open. This is similar to what I had.
Wonder if this might work as an alternative.

This is a great idea. A friend told me about a product like this, but I had forgotten about it. For about 10% of the price, I'm going to try it. I ordered one last night. - Thank you!

Hello Joe, it sounds like it from their website ($450 plus shipping). They also offer fully restored replacements ($700 plus shipping). Their website says you can call for more info at 815-670-0454.

Daniel,
You want to make sure to enter your reply to a quoted message under the box, not in it. Like this:
green93Melrose T Top is excellent, easy to find on line. Did a great job on my 93 glass top.
katanamanI bought a used C5 3 years ago, and it came with a pop-in headliner for those days when the heat and sunlight were too intense. I have never used it, but I have also noticed that they don't seem to be advertised (eBay for instance) for C4s. I sure cannot see why not. And it seems like it should be easy enough to fabricate one especially if there was a stiff enough closed cell foam inner core.
terrdl28I actually found one from zip Corvette and I know Mid-America also has them and I have one on order. Thanks for reaching out.

I have that on my 79 that has Ttops.....without will bake your head.
Bob DeCardenasIt’s been a while since your post. I believe that THOMPSON ASTRO TOPS (800) 239-2659 ask for Jana, rebuilds tops. My ZR-1 came from the factory with one but someone else had to have it. So I purchased a new bronze lightweight for mine it fits great. Their customer service is great, although because of the demand it takes a while to get one.
