I replaced the top on 15851 with a vinyl one from 'EZ ON Auto Tops' via Ebay, as the original rear window was the color of Bromine! I think I paid $175 + shipping about 18 months ago. The fit is excellent, the only problem was getting the curved rear holdown bar into the slit at rear of the top.  I had to heat the whole area up and slowly walked the bar home, assisted by a few choice words, this always helps! I haven't put the top up in cold weather yet as the car was finished only 3 months ago. I decided upon a vinyl top as this is a show car and will always be tucked away out of sight under the top boot. Only getting used if I should get caught out in the rain and during winter storage.
