Actually it was a company called Wilco Autorestorations. They made the convertible top and frame, plus a rear engine shelf piece and a couple side scoops to fill in behind the door handles.
You removed the engine lid and raked back the windshield. I remember the artcile in Vw magazine. Had a picture on the cover or a 75-76 white 914 with the Wilco top installed and the front turn signals had also been leaned back . Looked really sharp. I currently have a brochure from them. I also have a Wilco convertible top frame and top material that are for sale. Contact me at camp914@comcast.net CCLIN914NATION |

PS. Wilco, the company that made the tops is no longer around.
