soft top clear moonroof...
 

Well I finally got around to doing it again! I had done this to another YJ a few years
back and it was spectacular.

Of course everyone said "does it leak?" Not only doesn't it leak, but because of the
slipstream, it doesn't even get dirty!
It's spectacular in the rain and awesome on a starry night.

I have a buddy here who does Florida boat and Yacht tops and he will do this for a nice $.
You can get all sorts of tints, but I prefer the clearest version. In the earlier version,
the inside of the ragtop was a dark cloth and it felt very "closed in". This opens up the
whole feeling into something quite amazing -- especially during a storm!

If you have further questions my email is on the bottom of the pictures page.

Take a look and tell me what you all think.

Not bad. Not bad at all. I wonder how well it would hold up
to ice and snow though.

Weird I couldn't see my post - so I posted it again...sorry if I messed up.

My guess is that it wouldn't be any wore than the side windows on any other top. The vinyl
I used is .030 . There is also .040 available. The first one I did I had for 6 years of
constant Florida weather and UV (it was never in a garage) and it was fine the whole
time. It always amazed me that no company ever bothered to do that.

By the way, that is a Bestop Sunrider, which still works just fine. I will take a pix of
the sunrider part open and post it.

Re: soft top clear moonroof...
 

Wow! Now, that is a very nice feature to have! Very nice work,
regardless of cost. I wonder too, why sunroofs aren't offered in
hardtop versions. I guess if the owner wants to see the sun, he/she
will just pull the top.

Your 'Sunroof Softop' would make a great business opportunity, if it is
that durable. Even better, a version that has clear, zippered inserts
so that it can be replaced easily.

Thanks for the look. Very nice product!
