I've asked don't venture far from the norm and have been no help. Since my
head gets totally baked after 5 hour trips like to Shasta, I think its
possible and want to know if anybody has ideas? The idea I'm thinking about
is to cut the front edge from the hard top I have to use as a front bow and
use hinged arms to go back to the roll bar. Any idea's? >>
Wow...that's definitely a good idea. Ok, I will admit, I'm SERIOUSLY
considering shaving my windows completely..a la Datster. But the fear of
having abosultely no top protection is a little scary. A bikini top should
work well...I think you might wanna try and call some VW places or shops that
have worked on any dune buggies! Wet suit-like neoprene would be a nice
material to use huh? Hmmm...
