After some 10+ years, my Series 2/3 'Addocks doortops are scrap. Not unusual, they're consumable items, as we all know. What to replace them with? Glass hasn't corroded :) so I'm looking at the frames as a to-glaze option.

The 'Addocks doortops are the default option, I doubt if they're any better (or worse) than my previous purchase. There's the Paintman items that read well (some positive comments out there), and there's the 'SP' variety. The latter look a good read on their website, though some folk (ca. 2016 era) on a few sites are rather negative about them (fit, quality, construction and customer service issues). I suspect such issues should have been resolved by now... so.... before I commit.....

Anyone bought some doortops lately - what did you think of them?
 
Keep an eye out for a pair of MOD aluminium door tops, window profile is slightly different (Defender style) but they'll last a lot longer.
 
Do they sell galv versions? Might be rough, but should last longer.

Are rocky mountain units still being made?

Otherwise ask Martin at Able engineering 101 spares if he can get a batch of standard made, he sells the 101 alloy versions ( quite different).
 
Well, with a timeshift involving extracting the roof and rack from the conservatory (and refitting) and some leaf spring experiments... finally made a decision over the doortops, I went for PM. This is, of course, not an endorsement, I have no connection, other doortops are available and I'm sure they'll fit just as well. However, they do fit, very well. Glass fitting kits were high quality too.

Got Rocky Mountain door tops on mine. Very pleased with them.
Me too, they look great, no rotting and the window doesn't ride open, fit better than the originals
