I might just pull the trigger for the top and curtains. He has been very communicative with me and just gave me contact info for a few customers here in the States. I will follow-up. |

I looked on ebay also, so I messaged autolonas and he said they have never advertised or sold these on ebay. He has been great to communicate with, I just want to hear from someone who has bought these fairly recently and can comment on quality and confidence about sending them money. |

How do you like your side curtains since you have had them for a few years? |
They dont get much use honestly as the thing gets used in the summer. they have held up fine otherwise. i just got glass side curtains and put them on for winter storage. |
I found this thread and I am seriously thinking about ordering these and a vinyl top from autolonas. I was hoping to find someone here in the States who has ordered them since I am a bit nervous. Obviously, you didn't have any issues back when you got them? They quoted me $720 for top and all curtains plus around $300 shipping. I am hoping the quality justifies saving at least a grand since I am on a tight budget. If you have any insights, I would appreciate it! |

Thanks |

I’m very Happy with the Side Curtins I ordered on EBay. They were made in Mexico. The purchase also included 2 very nice bags to put the Curtins in when not being used,
Too bad I am on the road & will not be back to where my Thing is for a couple of months.
Cost after shipping was just over $500.00
