    GAAH is often quoted but they are near impossible to work with. I've still hand no luck with them on my Gallardo. Even my local Tops and Interiors guy says the same. They seem to be buying up the competition he said. Customer service totally sucks to the point I would not buy from them. FWIW the 360 and 430 tops are the same. Good luck and keep this thrread posted with your ultimate results.

    I'm not sure but I think these guys source from GAAH. I went to their website and looked up a replacement Gallardo top and they have the identical listing options as GAAH. They offer Black and Bordeaux, the latter a color I've never seen on a Gallardo. Same A5 German canvas too.

    That is disappointing

    I found materials from my 2018 searching.

    The three top suppliers (don't now know current standings except for what Dave stated about convertibletopguys.com) therein listed are -

    www.convertibletopguys.com
    www.topsonline.com
    www.cabrioworld.com

    I need to go through my work to see how others are now rated and then I'll see where they now stand

    Sorry I didn’t move ahead. Fortunately I found the problem was a glued seam that had come unglued causing the canvas to fold incorrectly. Simply glued it back.

    This thread however has mentioned the main canvas suppliers which several Chat members have used with success.

    I had the same issue. There's a seam on the side of the top that's behind the canvas. If it gets loose the top will not fold correctly

    In 2018 I had a GAAH top installed on a Maserati Spyder. I also needed some alcantara replaced. A local interior shop that came highly recommended for leather work from a member here on Fchat was also an approved GAAH installer. Everything went really well and I am happy with the looks of the top. The installer dealt with GAAH directly and things went smoothly and quickly.

    That was 4 years ago. Not exactly recent. I am happy with the top.

    I'm due a new top this winter. Heavily considering this company as they mention they've solved the side pinching issue: https://www.ck-cabrio.com/shop-convertible-tops/ferrari-f430-spider-2005-2009/

    Side note, I've installed hundreds of tops on various vehicles. My god is the Ferrari tax present on some of these. There's absolutely no reason a new top should cost more than $800-1000. Especially one this size with no glass.
