these showed up on Monday. Finally popped ‘em on today.
I personally had no issue with the look of the (barely noticeable) latches, but appreciate the free cosmetic upgrade.
I'd say hanging on based on false promises from ADV for 2 years, when you could have placed an order elsewhere months ago and already have the top is kinda' getting shafted...
I had that same "Watch them start shipping tomorrow" fear when I cancelled.
Now I've had my TOR top for 2 months (and put a good chunk of change back in my pocket), so I think I made the right decision.
Hopefully you get your TOR top sooner than expected. You're due some good luck!
I didn't really sand them, just made sure they were clean and grease-free.
I've gotten a couple of dings after 2 years/40K miles, from rocks and/or dealer tire rotations, but nothing really noticeable.
I'll probably do a touch up after my next rotation.
What color did you use?
Looks a lot like the Black Sapphire Luxury Metal I went with.
When spraying mine. I just put a couple wood blocks underneath (on a sheet of cardboard).
Worked out much better than having then flat on the ground.
(I had to learn that lesson about the valve the hard way too).
