[Roadsters] Hardtop sunroof idea, whadya-think

[Paul]

  Hopefully Mark Sedlak will chime in here with his efforts to make a Bimini
top for the Rat.  Maybe if all of you that have worked on the idea pool your
efforts, we'll all be able to enjoy one.

i totally agree with the sun exposure thought.  plus, on a hot day in Texas
driving a convertible can be unbearable.

i saw an MG TD? that had used the convertible top frame (on those cars its
not attached to the roof) to support a "bimini top" which snapped to the
windshield like the regular top and then covered the passengers.  in lieu of

back/side windows etc there were just straps to the snaps.

now, how to implement that on a roadster . . .
