I just had the pass side T Top crack...It is the M1131 blue... where do I go to get a top to match the color.. I have seen 2 different tops with M1131 on them but when you look through them they don't have the aqua Grey tint... should I buy a new set of tops, If so do I buy the ppg or lot T Tops
Thanks All This is A Great Site

I also have a cracked M1131 blue top. I have looked over the years and have not found a place to get a match. You may find one from time to time on ebay or you may just have to purchase a replacement set. Most that I see broken are the drivers side though.

Just be careful if you buy new ones that you get what you are paying for. It's my understanding there are two primary types (manufacturers) of glass; PPG and LOF. One of my mirrored tops shattered and it was marked Solar Cool, which I understood to be a trademark of PPG. I paid more money to buy my replacement tops from Ecklers because their tops were advertised on their website as Solar Cool, with no mention of LOF, so I presumed they were PPG. But when I received my email order confirmation, they were described as LOF with no mention of Solar Cool. Identical tops to some of their competition; just higher priced. Their sales staff told me that "all mirrored tops by all manufacturers" are called Solar Cool; just as people call all soft drinks a Coke." I told them they were misrepresenting their product. To their credit, they honored the lower price from their competitor and have since added a clarification to their on-line description. Good luck. Dave
