you probably dont want to go in this direction but i will mention what i did only to point out the options available. The OEM top on my 72 was original and had a duct taped hole and looked bad. It was the vinyl coated canvas in white on a white car. looked grey and worn, had to go. My neighbor had a white Mercedes with a blue convert top that my girlfriend insisted would be a good combination for my 72. Not original but it would match the med blue interior as well. I spoke to the owner of the MB and he had no problems with the quality of the material. Called MB and they said all tops were made in Germany by a supplier named Sonnenland for the last 100yrs. The US distributor is named Haartz Corp in MI. Spoke to them, they sent me a dozen samples of blues they make and 3 weeks later i had a brand new top made for 72 Mustang with pads, cables, strips...every thing. I took it to a top installer and it took him a couple days. He said he never saw a top of this quality put on a muscle car. I said it's a MB company and he said he knew that because he replaced the MB tops all the time. Ever since i changed the color i have gotten 100% positive response from folks. The quality is amazing too. The numerous colors and types are surprising! not cheap though. Just to let you know there are many options available, not just the mustang parts shops.
