RE: Thompson Astro Top
I currently have one on my 79. I have had no problems with it. I know in the past people have had problems with the Astro top leaking. I bought mine recently and have driven in the rain with no problems. They claim it fits behind the seat, well it does, JUST barely. I bought the storage bag which I think is a must so you don't scratch the top. I didn't have glass T-Tops so I am really enjoying the open feeling it gives.

RE: Thompson Astro Top
I waited a couple weeks to respond to this one, as I just installed my Astrotop. No leaks for me, fits great. They use a softer and larger weatherstrip than the stock tops, which helps to fill in the gaps nicely. I don't really like the thumbscrew arrangement on the front for attaching through the old post holes, but having a fresh top makes the hassle of screwing on/off worth it. The rear of the Astrotop is held on by a padded plexi block, tightened into place with another set of thumbscrews. It doesn't look too sturdy, but seems to work just fine. Summary, for the price, they definitely rock. :D Here is a pic from before I took off the protective film:
