Z chopper Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 I had one on my old 78 chevy van I loved it and the install was super easy with the right tools and prep. Quote Link to comment

1lo620 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 They are easy to install, they come complete, just have to messure and cut. If you can install a sun roof you can do the sliding rag tops, they are almost the same installs.. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 What about the headliner? Are there any roof struts to cut? Quote Link to comment

TheGooner Posted February 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 forgot to ask if they are lockable Quote Link to comment
1lo620 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 yes thet are lockable, and they have a headliner option, it is more money though. I cant speak for the roof struts, I have put these into 2 different canopys, and on cab of a mini truck...So I think he is putting it into a goon...Put the frame work on these things is incredible, very well made!!!

FoxyRoadster Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 might make sure to re-enforce the body a bit, I know VW did it for their convertibles and their sunroof models. Quote Link to comment
