Title: Best Aftermarket Ragtop?
Post by: kirin on September 27, 2006, 11:27:33 AM

Hey guys,
Just curious as to whats the general consensus on whats the best and most \"correct\" looking aftermarket ragtop roof out there.  Just seeing if the whole finding a ragtop clip goes sideways I want to keep my options open.

If you graft in an original VW sunroof, and do a good job of it, the value of your car goes up a bit.  
Put in an aftermarket sunroof, and your car is worth ZERO!

I think the Britax kits are by far the best ones you can get. If your  going to do it I would suggest you check it out.

Stay away from those street-beat ones Kirin. Trust me! When I was much much younger I put one in my first beetle.... totally uncool. I've heard Webasto makes good ones for whatever it's worth. I'd do a OEM one before anything first tho.

There ya go Kirin.  Get the guy to wrap it up in a couple of layers in cardboard and have him ship it via the DOG.  I'm not sure, but I think it may be too large to UPS.
