Does anyone on here have the astrotops instead of the regular glass roofs www.astrotops.com I was just thinking down the road rather than having to replace the tops to buy these instead. Just wondered if anyone has any experience with these.

I BOUGHT THE ASTRO GLASS ROOF BACK IN 1988. AT THE TIME THEY HAD DIFFERENT COLORS AVAILABLE. I GOT THE RED, WHICH LOOKED AWSOME ON MY CAR (RED). THE ROOFS ARE GUARANTEED NOT TO LEAK. THE FIRST TIME I DROVE THE CAR IN A SLIGHT MIST, WATER POURED THROUGH AT THE HEADER PANEL. I SOLD THE ROOF AND PUT THE GLASS T-TOPS BACK ON....NO LEAKS.
MAYBE THEY HAVE IMPROVED SINCE THEN.....JUST MY .2

I have the astro top and it works fine on my 78 (the wife likes the astro top) I also have the t-tops which haven't been out of storage since I purchased the astro. I also have the rain coat top (my personal preference) the rain coat doesn't leak- folds to the size of a sun screen-and can be taken off or put on at a short traffic light stop (for those unexpected rains durring a cruiz) and most importantly it will hold on at 100mph.

I have been running the 2 piece astro tops on my 79 since 1989..
my brother (he died in 2002) ran a 1 piece astro top on his 80 for years..(Car still sits in his garage next to his 92 & 99...
Mine do not leak...BUT I really have to make then DARN tight or else they will leak
...especially at the top of the windshield... Brother said the same thing with his 1 piece top....
My only complaint is the rear lock down mechanism is kind of ...well for lack of a better term...cheap and funky...folded book of matches keeps my drivers sinde rear nice and tight...
I have both 72 & 64 Ragtops....new tops weatherstripping ect and they both leak... cars see so little rain it really does not matter...
