I can also vouch for Pollet's Automotive located at 3131 Draper Dr in
Fairfax Va.  I didn't respond to your inquiry initially because I had my
top replaced on my NA back in 2011 by Pollet's and didn't think they would
still be around.  I remember the owner at the time recommending one of his
suppliers vs me buying one for him to install.  Well he was correct, after
14 years the top he installed is in great shape.  I remember him telling me
the top would be sturdier especially around the zipper and that has held up
well.

He takes walk-ins for free estimates, I would go over there and see what he
says before buying a top, he might have a better recommendation than what
you are considering.  His pricing was good and when I had a slight leak
after a heavy rain storm I took it back to him and he fixed it (stands by
his work).  Good luck.
