California top is out, lexan sheet (3'x4'x1/4") was cut to fit, made a steel reinforcement bar to go across to hold "the bubble" at high speeds (placed B-pillar to B-pillar) and bolted it in place by using every other factory hole and for the time being I have a functional, but not waterproof, clear lexan roof. Next opportunity I will be sealing it with window sealer and paint the parameter of it black so you can't see down and see the metal lip/spacers. All in all less than $100 for materials at HomeDepo and a days time. In my opinion it has turned out much better than I could have hoped for. As an added bonus, it is much lighter than the folding top, quieter at highway speeds, and all around more exciting to look at/out of. __________________
