Default Has Anyone Installed the 1-piece T-tops on a C3

I have seen adverts, stating 33% more headroom with a 1-Piece T-top, Wondering of the quality of the product.

Subject has been beat to death.
Weatherstrip doesn't seal,fasteners don't fasten real well.

I had one when I bought the car, Gave it away. Didn't seal, chrome trim started to peel and there was no way to store it if you decided to take it off when you were out on the road. Headroom was nice though.

The only ones that I have seen were about 20-30 feet in the air last summer at an autocross event that I was a corner worker at. Driver had them on all day without a problem. Last run of the day, he exited a corner and they went flying. I decided to hold on to my $$$ also.
