Clueless In Sandland
What were the T top options on the C3's? Various colour smoked glass or painted fiberglass?
Nope, not kidding. I'd imagine that they were originally glass and one or both broke, so the PO had them "re-manufactured" from sheet metal...fiberglass is standard...yours are steel? You're kidding right?
Yeah, they're not too bad but they're bloody heavy...Damnit man, THAT took a bit of work, eh??

I have to say, it looks like they did a good job.
I could probably use these to make a mold Gene but I just can't be arsed doing it - I've still got too much other to do to tackle that as well...Yeah, they're not too bad but they're bloody heavy...Damnit man, THAT took a bit of work, eh??

I thought it would have been sheet steel, not 1/4" plate or something....
and therefore lighter than glass or plastic....and yes, they did do nice with them, shame they so heavy...one thing though...can you use them for forms to make outta some other material??

I knew the mechanisms were different but are the bare panels all the same? Is the framework/mechanism just held to the fiberglass panels with an adhesive?68-77 panels have a different locking system. Mine have a lock in the front and another in the rear. Both have a lever that comes up under the windshield and rear roof panel respectively. I know you can make a simple mod to use a later roof panel in an early car, but not sure of the reverse.
Not the only complaint, they have a bit of ugly going on as well - dunno if you can make it out real well in the photo's but the rear edges are about as straight as a dog's hind leg! I'll weigh one tomorrow though.If weight is your only complaint then put these on a scale and I'll do the same with my fiberglass tops.... I don't expect much of a difference, the fiberglass tops are pretty heavy....
