WAS top Production run Options

[Mikey914]

With the trial run wrapping up this next week we have made some improvements and leared what works and what will not work. We continue to refine the processes and will probably even make more improvements as we continue production.

What is unique about this roof is that it is not just a piece of acrylic that was mounting hardware bonded to it, it actually uses a fiberglass substructure that is very simular to the OEM roofs. It also uses the OEM sytle rubber to seal, so it's much better at keeping water out than the old roofs that were available in the past. I felt that to just immitate a roof that had many problems I should try to make a significant improvements to the product. It also used hardware that is simular to the OEM mounts, except we created a new mechanism that should minimize overtightening. This was a failure mode on the old roofs.

We started the first run of roofs with the idea that we could keep the cost lower, and found that some of the assumptions we made were not quite correct, and wound up using diferent materials and processes. Of course they were more expensive and the times we planned were not even close to what we thought they would be. In reality we only had to increase the GB price by $65.

This roof comes with the rubber and mounting hardware. The mounting hardware will be attached, you will need to install the rubber as there is some variation as to where some need to mount.

I'll PM those that have signed up on the other thread. We will be able to do 2 roofs per week first prouction will be shipping July 11th. 2 per week.

Each roof has a serial number and your choice of shipping crate or Eccorrate.

Sign up here if you're interested. We are looking at a $350 deposit and balance + shipping due when it ships.

Just a heads up the size is 3rd oversize, so shipping I have seen so far is from $110-165.

The boxes run $50 for the laminated cardboard "crate" $85 for the wooden crate.
