i bought my top from hydro-electric and came with glass but smaller than
original.to the eye it is unnoticeable but it can lose points.that was never
my concern.colonial grain is glossy leather like and not those pin dot tops
on other years.if you were to keep old glass and vinyl below it it would
have to match grain and ofcourse they get dirty unless it is black
already.mine is white.good luck.riginal Message -----
