Reproduction convertible top header bow - anybody used it?
 

Mine is pretty rotten and likely too far gone - has anybody used the repro that is available? Better off finding a nice used one (as usual?)

My 69 GTO was purchased as a stripped body shell, I picked up a used top frame and the front bow turned out to be rotten. I then found a clean top bow and it turned out to be bent. Couldn't be used. I bought a reproduction front bow and it has worked out fine.

I need one for my 69 Lemans - do they get welded in?

I just gave a deposit to a company called Erickson Auto Trim, Inc in Menasha Wisconsin. They had a 69 Camaro getting a new top and it looked just like the original on my car. He said the mfg name but it doesn't populate right now. Same guy has been doing the top installs for over 30 years. Yes, rear glass but would not re=use my old. They save it though and give it to me upon pickup.
