Agree that we should be somewhat thankful for the parts that are available. Take single wall tops for example. How many were made and still in use? Maybe 10k? I’m shocked that side glass and other top specific seals are available.
Someday I'd like to start producing single wall tops out of carbon fiber. I think there would be a small but viable market. And a lightweight single wall top would be awesome.
