I ordered a top for my 560SL and it was of superior quality just like the Original Top. Highly rated. Thank you.
The top looks to be solid and well made. The problem I have is a lack of customer support. The link for the install details will not work, the website link doesn’t work, I’ve sent 2 customer support emails in last 3 days, called 3 times, and still do not have install directions. I want to return the top, but have no luck there either. At a loss now other than asking my credit card company to reimburse the charges.
Autotops Direct had the opportunity for a 5-star rating. But in the end, unfortunately failed to deliver. I purchased a replacement top for my 1988 Mercedes 560SL. All went well. The top was good quality, and the installation was as expected. Unfortunately, a few months later while my Mercedes was on the lift, I inadvertently opened the garage door where the garage door opener connecting arm cut my new top… ugh. My fault, I get it. When I ordered another replacement top, I explained my situation and I asked if there was any discount available or at least match my original sale price of 20% off (email discount code) because I was ordering the exact same top because of my mistake. The sales rep said 10% off is the best he could do. If that’s the best, I guess I have no choice but to take it. Two days later I get an email offering 20% off any new top… seriously, are you mocking me?! The top was good quality, the customer service was highly disappointing.
Excellent product . I had the top professionally installed .
The installer said the fit was perfect and the quality was superior. Auto tops direct customer service was helpful and I received my soft top within 3 days . I had a great experience.
I called twice (once at each option) and left a message at each option, and got no response. The top I received is nice but it did not include instructions as was advertised. It also said it was complete and it did not include all the seals.
I am happy with the quality of the top but I am not so happy with wording vs. reality and with your lack of follow up.
