I bought a new top from LeBaron Bonney and had a quality shop install it. That job is not for the inexperienced. A friend of mine with a '48 convertible had his top replaced at a different shop, and it was so tight that the doors dragged when the top was cinched in place. Convertibles are quite flexible in the middle without a steel top to brace them, and adjusting the top and the doors can be a time consuming process, made more difficult if the top is not correctly put on.
