My 97 Cobra vert had a new top when I got it but I have used it so much that it's time to replace it.

I'm considering the 99-04 style because the material is supposed to be nicer.

Anyone have any experience installing the newer one on an older car? How about brand preference. I want a glass rear window with defrost like I have now.

I plan on having it installed because I don't feel like doing it myself.

Thanks!

Only the 03 - 04 Cobra convertible tops are different, they're cloth. Yes, the fit the same and are a great upgrade. You don't need a top made for an 03 - 04 Cobra, you can use any 94 - 04 top as aftermarket companies make the tops in cloth and vinyl.

Get a cloth top. They're more quiet and is probably one of the best mods to do an earlier Cobra vert for appearance.

Any of the aftermarket tops will be fine though I believe Robbins has a lifetime warranty on their window bond from separating and six years overall.

Thanks for the reply's! I definitely want a cloth top. I looked at the Robbins tops and they look really nice.
