cardaft Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Cutting out a bit of the roof to add either a sunroof or open air will do nothing at all to the handling!The roof is very thin anyway. Id like a sunroof, wouldnt mind getting one retro fitted. Id be concerned about an openair, incase it got cut open by some mindless vandals!Cool option though!I was looking at german ebay last week, found a grey mk2 arosa with an open air roof, i so wanted that!

Its quite tough. It also has hard "slats" in it. Im not sure what they are but its pretty strong. The worst job about taking the roof in and out was the headlining. It has a ring around the roof hole and the lining is tucked in under it. What a bitch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a bitch! i was gonna say, the earlier comments seemed to make the roof a single skin, i was pretty doubtful of that, so technically you are reducing the inegrity of the car i'd assume Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4T VW Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 No i mean the folding part has the slats. The roof panel is just thin metal as said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boy'dup Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 i never looked tbh. i would have though it would have been a touch more substantial than that!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 There are no cross braces in a Lupo roof. Just a single skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
