I ended up purchasing from http://www.miatatopsource.com/. Bought the black stayfast canvas, non-zippered glass window top with rain rail. $540 delivered (in 2 days!).
This top is made by KeeAuto Tops and is excellent quality. I have installed lots of tops from various manufacturers and I was pleasantly surprised with the detail of this top. The front and side pockets are fully formed with plastic backing material. The side stays aligned perfectly (which is unusual) and the seams all appeared perfect. The headliner is made from a quality nylon like material (unlike many I have seen). I looked at many different brands of tops and contacted a few vendors. Most requests went unanswered. (Doug Robbins talked to me, but I could not get the top I wanted for a good price). I called miatatopsource once before ordering and was able to talk directly with the guy (owner?) who was installing a top. I called once during installation to get clarification on the strap lengths (which were not pre-marked), and again spoke to a knowledgeable person. The finished top looks great and I am very pleased with the appearance. The top folds flat, and the motion is very smooth. The glass does not get hung up like on many other tops. I am glad I went with miatatopsource as I an supporting a fellow enthustiast.
