Cut my roof off today!!

I shouldn't have read this thread - now I find myself thinking I'd like to do that as well! :)

Doing a bit more research into the rubber seals makes me think that you could probably use fairly inexpensive automotive or maritime hatch seals as long as the roof apertures are a fairly regular shape.

A lot cheaper than what I was thinking of using no doubt, the 944/68 as a model panel.
For me I'd want to consider what could be fitted in the boot section when removed, it would be nice not just to have to leave it at home :oops:
Which brings me to the other mod I'd love to do which is put a Li battery in on the bulkhead and remove the ridiculous battery 'box' that we're condemned with. Pop the Si coupe boot trim and have a nice flat space for your roof panel to be stowed :)

Ok, I'll look at getting some costs on it, that will probably remove the interest :lol:
 
While you’re there, let me know the cost of a small, light weight battery and the Z4C boot trim :D
 
At least I don't nee to worry about the cost of the battery mod! :)

I could donate the oem roof if that helped old mate across the border...

That's very kind mate, thanks. If you've still got it in, hmmm... probably 5 years I might take you up on it. :D Not sure if using the original skin for it in metal is good, but doesn't sound like a bad idea, saves buying a carbon panel to mould.
Yours fitted yet? Don't show us the pics this close to Christmas please
:lol:

Looks good, really good!

Was it not possible to leave the seal around the window as it was? What was the reason for cutting it?
 
Lol, I'll show you a few pics. Before my roof conversion, I already ran without the top rubber. It looks much much cleaner that stock.

Wow, it actually does, even though your knife skills need some work. Now mine is annoying me... thanks. :rofl:
