Oh it rains alright; just that the south-east corner of Queensland especially is undergoing its most severe drought on modern history.

Thanks by the way; all are welcome on our forum, especially our 'cuzzy bros' from across the water!

...Just letting you know on HERE as I did on email; It arrived safely via my mat Don in the USA...I'm WRAPPED with it; I reckon it looks very cool and can't wait to test it (Believe it or not, its been raining ever SINCE I test fitted it yesterday!) hehehe. Fits VERY well and MUCH better than I'd hoped for. Only 'mod' I'll do is instead of velcro on front, I'll glue some high density FOAM under the front lip; THAT should both make it water tight AND not have the car look daggy with velcro on it.

Cheers mate and thanks VERY much!

I have one of the eckler's tops and mine has metal studs to go through the t-top mounting holes. Mine actually fits well and looks nice. I don't know how water tight it is, its just for emergencies. I hope to never have my car out in the rain but you never know

I have the one peice raincoat, bought it this spring and the t-tops got shelved. First time out we got caught in a rain storm at 70 mph no problems. All the suppliers sell the same one dropped shipped from the manufacturer.

Yeah thanks guys; sounds (& looks) like we all are referring to the same roof...I reckon they're awesome! Had I known, I'd have bought a C4 version instead of the STILL to be mounted new glass roof panel back into its frame...How handy are these?! ~ Simply fold up and stash behind seats - brilliant!

PS; sorry, hood ornament on my C4 is not included in sale
