Clear Roof
#1

I have designed a clear roof for VX as shown below.
The highlights are:
Experience open top feeling all year round
It warms the cabin like a green house in cool weather
Excellent visibility such as looking up at traffic lights
The cabin feels very light and airy
More headroom than standard hard top
Very lightweight construction
Wide operating range for seals so no messing around adjusting windows
No need for painting
The new roof would sell for GBP 500 that's more than I wanted to charge but is unavoidable.
Would anyone be interested in one of these if I were to build some more?

If it looked more like an all in one piece like this it would be great -

Oh, and I think you would need some sort of roller blind on the inside you could draw accross otherwise it would get unbearable sat in the sun not being able to remove it!

Like the idea but there is to much going on with that design for my liking. Sorry to say it looks like a bit of a miss match of parts and does not sit quite right, not 'OEM' enough looking enough for me.

The elise does look very perty!
Paul I'm sure your design looked better a few months ago. Good on you for getting this to work though! Would potentially be interested in one over a hard top but I'd definatly need to see it in the flesh first - national next year?
That is beautifully done.
It'd want to be for the price!
I think I saw this was about £2k+
