Picked up a lexan tinted targa top
Posted this on another forum, but thought I'd post here to get more opinions.
So I saw the roof on a 924 on Craigslist in the area, messaged him wondering if he would part with it because he also had the factory roof. I was thinking it was Saratoga, so made an offer that seemed good, with intent to flip. I got there and lo and behold, it's a lexan, contoured, dark tinted, manual roof, no frame, no labels. I offered him lower because "it wasn't what I expected", he took it. He also gave me the factory sunroof bag Wink After searching I found two references to the same roof, but no definitive answer on where it came from. I haven't taken pics, but here is the same roof in an old for sale ad I found that someone else had (not mine): For Sale: Plexiglass Clear Sunroof - Rennlist Discussion Forums Thoughts?

Probably small-run one-offs...wouldn't be very hard to do if you had a big enough oven.

I cannot recall exactly what i sold mine for. It wasn't a bad top and I had a brand new seal for it that I sent to the buyer too. At some point I will buy the new version but I am waiting for the latch problems to be sorted out.

This seal is pretty thick so it makes the lexan flex a bit between latch points

There is another run of glass roofs being made currently.
As for the plastic roof, the one in the linked ad has a generic peel-and-stick seal from any auto store or even home improvement places. I bought the same stuff at Lowes a few months back to get some more rain protection on my hatch frame. |
