1st Gen FULL Soft Top

I have a black vinyl soft top that was purchased with the vehicle 17 years ago. The design is very similar to STC's (http://www.thejeep.com/stc/toyota.html). The actual method of attachment is very similar. Some drilling is required. I was going to give it to a friend of mine, but his 1st Gen died too. Take off the fiberglass top once a year. I have not unearthed it in a year, and I do remember one tear in the vinyl. I'd like $200 plus shipping. I will post pics after I unearth and Armor All the top. Thanks for looking! Any questions? Fire away. I check my email constantly, so that is probably the quickest way to go.

The manufacturer is Kayline.

There are two snaps missing (easy to replace, from Lowe's) and a little separation of the vinyl from a zipper. There is also a little bit of clouding on the back clear vinyl (it did not photograph well). I could only upload three pics, but will be happy to send the ones with the flaws mentioned above.

I have uploaded the "flaw" pics as this new message.

There are no tears in the black vinyl (I was relying on my memory), there is a little crack in the back clear vinyl. I will post a pic tomorrow.

I do have the hardware that goes along with the top. I did make a slight adjustment that made it a lot more sturdy. It is shown in the 3rd pic of this message.

Thanks for all the interest!

Here is the modification. I did this after several times when the horizontal beams fell out of their slot as I was driving. The entire top folded down and I couldn't see out the back window. The way it was originally designed it was a lot of static fitting. A lot of movement in the beams and whatnot. Constant worry of it falling apart (especially on the highway).

Here is the mod. It made the whole system 10 times more sturdy. And a lot easier to put together.

There is a little rip in the vinyl on the rear panel.

Flaw Recap: 2 missing snaps, one tear in rear black vinyl panel, 3; crack in rear clear vinyl, separation of vinyl from zipper on rear panel

Due to all of the interest, I have decided to take the top off the market and fix what ails it. I'd rather sell a quality item that y'all would be able to use that day. Whatever the price of the materials and a nominal charge for my time will be added. Give me a few days to get out the proper stores.
