I just had this wacky thought last night.

Take my car to an auto glass place, ask them to enlarge my sunroof by extending the opening all the way to the rear passenger seats. That’s almost double the size of my current sunroof. Cut a bigger hole in the roof, take away the ceiling light, cloths and everything. Then place an auto glass on it, sealed all the way around and tint it a bit.

Sunny all year round, no worry about water leaking anymore. I think it sounds like a good idea to me!

 

They have such things... but not glass, rather canvas like convertibles, and it slides open... They might have glass ones, but I've never seen it.

lol I called a lot of places and they said it cannot be done and reason being that it needs a housing to support the roof or else the car will crumble on you.

But that canvas looks like some of the old cars back in the 60 or 70s eh? Interesting...

 

sorry, that idea's mine already

i'll let ya borrow it tho for the right price

 

I like that idea marty!

i got the gears turning now!

 

i think it'd be sweet on a hatch Sam..

 

It would require so much frame work to strength the roof... it is one helluva job...

Not to mention heat lost during winter. But anyway...

 

my car is freakin' cold during the winter anyways

 

didn't BLK93si have a Targa prelude in his Sig ... now that looked sweet ... a targa 7th gen would look sweet too ... marty you at the next wednesday meet I'll bring the sawzall

already been done

looking at that pic Nova_Dust, it should be easier than your being told to do your idea..

that's just a regular over-sized moon roof

me, i'm after the targa..like the del sol, that kinda thing..

 

Marty we can do the targa thing on wednesday ... I bring the sawzall you bring the car we add some muscle and a crowd and video camera ... VIOLA instant how to make a targa top civic ... might not be the nicest out there but I can cut in a straight line (I think )

 

k..you just stay away from my car from now on k??

 

Marty ... you have nothing to fear but fear itself....























and maybe me standing near your car holding a sawzall ...nice underground garage you got here by the way

 

COOOOL

 

i was going to do something similar to this last year, when my car was in the shop being painted, indy and i came up w/ some GREAT ideas, but unfortunately since i decided i was going to head back to school in the fall, i decided it would be best to save my money

 

Ya, I gotta admit that looks fantastic!! I'd hit it

 

That moon roof thingy is exactly what I have in mind, I wonder if that can be opened? I asked quite a few places in town and so far no one can do it...

I would rather go with that then rag top.

 

How would you expect it to open... there is no space for it to go... a reg sunroof slides inside and towards the back, and those other ones slide up and back... there is no place for that thing to. It may pop up a little, but what would be the point. I think the glass roof concept is cool... fixed roof like that one. Only thing is... looks like it may hold water when it rains.
