Default Soft top for Contemporary

I am in need of a soft top for my Contemporary Cobra. Has anyone one for sale or does anybody know another manufacturer´s soft top that will fit a Contemporary Cobra with minor modifications?
Thanks.

The convertible top and side curtains from ERA will work for your application.

Thanks.

Again, identical to the ERA, so a picture of the ERA top mounted will do as well.

What specifics do you need for the mounting to your car?

Do you have the studs already installed in the body for a tonneau cover, if so, the top will use the same. What about the door ferrels? Are they installed in your doors? If not, and you purchase a top from ERA, the mounting instructions will come along with it.

One thing to consider on the Contemporary is the roll bar location and height. My kit came with a template for two locations for the roll bar. The one I picked was further back from the bulk head and I have a full height roll bar. I tried an ERA convertible top on my car and with this roll bar location it wasn't going to work. I assume the ones with the roll bar closer to the bulk head and the shorter ones should work.

that won’t help, because ERA doesn’t sell parts to people who cannot refer to an ERA VIN
