Targa Top - Blue Glass - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

JThomas · 08-31-2018

I am looking for an either new blue glass targa top or a company that will repair/refurbish my current top which has all new weather stripping. I would hate to pay the $1,200-$1,500 for a new panel from some of the major Corvette parts distributors, but instead looking for the best buy and not brake the bank, especially for this particular project car. I checked a couple of sites while at Carlisle, but looking for others. I searched this site and thought there was something recent about this topic, but was unable to find it.

Thanks,

Joe,
John Glyder recently sent his top out to be reconditioned and was very happy with the results. Sure that John will post up shortly. Good to see you at Carlisle, your car is stunning!

Thanks Charlie, good to see you as well and thanks for the introduction to the C4 parts vendor. I will wait to hear from John or reach out to him shortly.

Hi Joe, I remembered the vendor. It is Melrose. John will confirm but I recall that he was very happy with the restoration they did on his top. He purchased the shipping box from them and sent in his damaged top and they turned it around quickly and with new rubber as well. Looks brand new.
