Re: soft top clear moonroof...
 

I don't think a zipper version woudn't leak, although I suppose I could try and make one.
The double row of seams on the one I did has a waxy kevlar thread, and then on he FIRST
one I rubbed in silicon grease into the seams, the silicon grease you get in camping or
plumbing stores. That one application was fine for years.

I would be glad to assist anyone in getting this done, just email me at the address under
the pix.

The only thing I can see that I might not like - this is a personal thing of
course - is there is no optional cover for it that I saw.
Meaning, when it's REALLY hot, or the sun is at the wrong angle a person
would be like a bug under glass in the sun.

Other than that, I think it's a great idea!

I love my sunrunner top, it's like the best of all worlds.

I will agree with that. I live in Canada and with the ozone hole
letting sun through, we can get badly burned easily. Bad enough they
give the daily UV index and an exposure warning with the local newspaper
weather.

I got the bikini top as a sun shade.

What about a UV blocking clear material?
