Pic or info request.. Ragtop on MCS

Was thinking today about putting on an electric sliding ragtop on my 03 MCS.. Anyone done this? Will a big one take out too much roof support?

MINI actually had a manual one available in europe. I believe if you have the sunroof it is a retro fit.

The MINI one is a retrofit for cars without the sunroof so you are in luck! There was a local guy who has one of these and it looks cool.

Wonder if I should go with that one or a different brand.. When I was into air bagged trucks I would see some very nice tops on trucks and cars. That would be a cool thing to get.

Here's the MINI version and installation instructions: http://www.motoringfile.com/2007/03/...tro-fit-guide/

The instructions are pretty scary. Quote: "Cut out the rest of the roof brace."
