Hmm, that's funny, my Pavement Ends

must have a different year, I have the
early top, 89' Kick

I am happy with the one I bought used for my 90.  For the price you can't beat them.  I also looked at a Steelhose top.  It was okay, but had funky white stiching on a black top.

   From my personal experience and posts I've read, Bestop does not offer consistent quality.   You take your chances with their products.

I see you had the same luck as I did w/ these tops. 2 months ago... a perfect fit. This one is junk.

BT apparently has a *lot* of troubles w/ their new Chinese supplier, who apparently farms out work to cottage industries, sweatshops and maybe to prisons.

Maybe if you complain to BT and Pavement Ends you'll get a response. (I got a response telling me they'd get back to me w/in 48 hours.)

BTW, BT seems to be finding what others have found. China is cranking out immitations of PE tops. The neighbor bought one last month & it looks at least as good as the PE top... for $50 less.
