Default Top (black)

Hello

New on the forum, have a 1992 GT with 60K miles in great condition, minus the top which has some holes, stiching is about to give way and rear plastic window is beyond clear sight and has tear in it.

Can any of you give me some insight as to what other avenues are available to replace this, other then spending $1000-1200 for replacement in shop.

Live in Riverside SO Cal, have there ever been tops put up for sale used, anybody can refer me to somebody reasonable in labor price?

Thanks in advance for your input, appreciate it much.

Regards

Max

Toyota has a habit of using undercoat that stays tacky forever. It will cause that texture sometimes. Although it does look like a leak may be there past or present.

Huaraches... maybe that happen when u were offroading ..no bueno for celi, but its an easy fix.. just remove the plate n u should b able to get another bolt in there, gud thing it wasn't the other bolt the one that has no plate @ all, cause if u mess that one then yeah it might take awhile to get the bolt of n retread it again.. don't worry same thing happened to me when i replace the Front bushings ... guess we StRoNg men lol lol lol ; P

ok so i put everything back together was kinda hard cuz the metal that holds the sway bar bushings in place got bent. so just to make things more complex this dumb bolt broke just when i was finishing everything up and making sure everything was tight. so when i was screwing it so it it wouldnt be loose it broke now i have half of it in there jajaja :/ so my concern is that bolt as important as the one that broke b4
