Just had our LT1 top & seals replaced with a refurbished acrylic top, and the now 10 days later the front is warped, ...... badly.:mad I will be sending in pictures to the supplier, but was wondering if this has happened to anyone else? Very frustrated after all the planning and finally getting the LT1 back up to a classic look, and this happens. :hb

We are seriously contemplating just going to a painted hardtop, depending upon what the part supplier replys with :(

Is the new top adjusted correctly?? If there too tight,They will warp and de-laminate!:thumb

If you do a search here,. there was a thread just a few months ago regarding replacement or reconned tops and the quality & service of several mfgs was discussed. Maybe that will offer some insight. Life with a painted roof ain;t all that bad if thats what you end up with. I've had both. As cool as the clear top was, I got over it pretty quick. Good luck !
