normal or sliding windows? I've seen them around in okay shape no sliding windows for 200-400$

Normal windows. Didn't know the sliders were more sought after.

In the end it'll probably be a matter of what someone is willing to pay and how bad they need a top.

There was one in the junkyard here that a guy bought for $100, but it was missing the windows, some of the weatherstripping, and a few other things. He just figured why not get it as they don't come along very often. A 78/79 top is probably a little more valuable since it's a two year only deal.

And what @canuckistan97 asked about the windows would probably add value as well. The sliders are sought after.

Yeah I was hoping they'd be a little more rare for the '78s. But not having sliders might hurt. Hopefully I can get some bites.

Yo Cave,
Swap, between 78-79 & 80-96; "...NO, the 78-79 has a curved seam line going across the top and the 80-96 seam line is straight..."

Hey totally understand. Appreciate the info. I'll give that site a look over. Maybe I'll get some bites through eBay then.🤞

I've had two different 90's tops...... couldn't sell them. Had to give them away.

Geez, that's unfortunate, and a little surprising you couldn't unload them. Here's hoping that because they were only available for two years, it might be in a higher demand. Of course I'm counting on someone out there actually needing one right now. Guess we'll see.

Am I the minority in saying I dont like the way sliders look on the 2nd gens?

Also, there is a 2nd gen top for sale local to me for $100. Looks in decent condition.

I don't either. Not sure why. I think maybe it makes them look older than they are? Not sure how to word it. Almost like it makes them look similar to a camper.

I had hoped I could list mine for around $500, but based on some searching it looks like $100-$200 is more realistic. Ohh well.

Do you? Where did you read that? Geez I hope not. I've had mine on for a little more than two years and it's been holding up great. Sits outside all year through the summer and winter. Granted it's not my daily, but still should last longer than 5 years I'd hope for $1k!
