Assuming the reason this is sparking such debate is because people need a
reliable source for good inexpensive tops, can people suggest possible
alternatives instead?  The previous inquiry about topsonline.com seemed to
be relevant, I'd love to hear about that.  How about duettomotors?  IAP is
pricey, so is centerline...  Any *positive* recommendations?  Also, I was
wondering why it is a glass windowed top couldn't be used, such as on the
miata.  Don't the windows just zipper down and lie under the top?  Why
wouldn't that work on an alfa?  Does anyone have any experience with SunFast
vs. StayFast?  The supplier to centerline, which is www.robbinsautotopco.com
also talks about "hand rolled" and "special" binding.  I noticed alfa romeo
is listed under the special binding category (as well as ferrari), what are
they talking about and which is best?  If robbins is the same supplier to
centerline and to www.convertibletops.com, why wouldn't I choose the latter
if it was cheaper and the same part number? *pant pant pant*
