Most all of the inexpensive replacement tops are incorrect and have the seams more inboard like that brochure photo.

@ 428ho4spd, or
@ north,
If possible can you (or another member) post a comparison photo of "correct" and "incorrect"... I'm having a hard time visualizing the difference(s)
Thanks!

Here's a low mileage original top car... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kx1altA6jxg

Thanks for the link.
I snipped a photo of the rear window area of the green car, and found a few other cars to compare it to via a google search (the maroon and dark green cars I believe show the incorrect instalation). I'm posting those pics here...

Where does one purchase the correct top? My '69 needs a green top, and most of the larger parts vendors don't carry it in green, let alone a correct top (or am I reading the posts incorrectly, and should assume it's the instalation of the top, not the reproduction itself that creates the issue?)
Thanks again,
-Andrew
