I tried this a few years ago with some success. I have more time to kill nowadays and thought I'd give it another try. I like the way it turned out so far. I used an old roof that I cut up and had the rest made of "sunbrella" at the local upholstery shop. It's supposed to be "water resistant". Maybe I'll have a chance to find out if it ever rains here again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I tested it a speed today on the highway and it did fine. It bows up like most ragtops at 70mph and didn't seem to flap at all. It doesn't take up much room in the trunk. Kinda reminds me of an old British sports car top. LOL
