Mine came from New Life. Whatever you decide on, be sure that the back piece has the metal reinforcements in the side panels. I once had a top from another company, not mentioned here, that did not have the reinforcements, but that was several years ago.

My New Life top was perfect in every way.
My Weebe did NOT have the steel reinforcements. Maybe they caught on and started installing them.

having bought all these tops i find it difficult to believe that all these dealers arent on the same page,i realise that there isnt a lot of demand for m135 m211 canvas ,but everyone i have had make something has been different,but each dealer has claimed to have an "original " top or drawings to make them by,example ,weebee puts a corner reinforcement in front of top where side panels/wind shield meet (major stress point due to sharp corner),beachwood and new life,refuse to believe me about this,even after sending them an old original top for them to look at as a pattern to make one ,new life even cut up the top i sent them and i never got it back(july 04) they said they "lost it",beachwood same thing but they did return topwhen they sent the 2nd,3rd top ,8 months later (sept 05),im not picking on anyone dealer but when i send pics of the nos in box top nd an old topwith my order and andthey still get it wrong,whats up with that?
