Convertible Removable Hardtop

I’ve been looking around online and haven’t found too much recent info on these. Are there any good vendors out?

There was a company making one that resembled a FRC roof. It looked heavy and was very spendy.

dont expect it to give you protection, if that's the case then weld a roll bar.

I'm having a cage in mine but I dont think the hardtop will work with the cage unless I have it to be measured.

Smoothline and Carvaggio (sp) were 2 companies that made tops but not sure if they are still in the game...

I have read the ops post several times and still can't find where it mentions "protection" in case of a rollover.

Smoothline has started producing them again. They aren't cheap, but they're out there.

I remember them when they first came out. Seemed like a quality product, but were kind of pricey. Would be worth looking into if they are making them again.

Pretty sure if the car rolls over I don't want to see how she looks after... Not too interested in this whole "roll over protection". If I was concerned about roll over protection I would've bought a Jeep

Where did you hear this at? I was going to order one but the Better Business Bureau has some very unpromising reviews of no one ever getting any of there product
