Still have an original one I've had since the early '70's. It's ok, but never fit all that well and was pretty hot in the summer. The view through it was kind of neat but I've never really used it that much.
I'd rather just have the top off!

I usually keep my top off, too. But I'd be interested in a gray one.

I agree that the 3rd brake light should be offered, if at all, as a separate item. Mine is attached under the roll bar.

Are you still making these tops? I don't see them on your web site. I thought there was also an interest in just making a top replacement?

Yes we have re tooled to make them more consistent. We were laying these up by hand and the process was to labor intensive. We are about ready to put into production. These will be $950 full retail once we have the production up. We will offer a GB price to those that are interested here that will be less than the full retal, and there are a few on a waiting list from when we started the tooling that we will need to fill 1st. Yes we will be doing a run, but these are not currently a stocked item. More than likely we will do a run and have some stock and it may be awhile before we run more again.

Mikey....any updates on the Saratoga tops? Spring is right around the next turn!
Please make sure I'm on your list as a buyer when you start production again.

Yes, was a bit busy this last week as we are finishing up the new rain trays. Had a chance to get a pull on the new mold and YES much better and uniform. I should have more for you later in the week as I do the day job til wed. Just need to post some progress, but we will be into production in about 2 weeks at most.

OK, another darn thing I am going to have to spend money on.

If their is an interest list add me.

Blue would be great, grey/smoked is second choice.

Did you say somewhere back in the thread about a dash? Any chance it is a 911 style?

Did a test pull with a piece of plastic with too much moisture in it, more of a proof of concept, it turned out out great (other the the bubbles)! So I have some fresh material coming in this next week.

Hello
In the last few weeks I've been working on building the Saratoga roof myself. Here is the result.

That looks fantastic! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Nice work.


* not meant to derail Marks thread*


Are you happy with the result? Anything you'd change on the next one?

Interesting. Did you gut a stock roof to make it? We pulled a few this last week, and have 8 fiberglass shells ready, just need to assemble. Haven't had the time due to the day job. Will start this next week.

Isn't there a difference between years for fit, mine doesn't fit snug, I have a small gap where the window doesn't quite meet the roof rubber. Bought new rubber from you a while ago, which was a bitch to install, lots of soap required! I probably have the wrong roof. Point is your Saratoga top might solve this issue for me.

Hello everybody
Yes it is a converted original roof. There are one or two little things I would change. But not much. It is certainly not as good quality as the roof of the Mikey914 but it has become very good as I find and I like it. Especially since the effort has kept me limited. The main problem is to bring the acrylic glass into the right shape. If you know how is that no problem.
On the next roof, the little things will not be any more ...

I drove today for the first time and it is already a crazy feeling with it.
It is just as bright as without a roof without wind. Very strange but nice.

Lan Scott. Sorry iam not understand what is the Question from You
