Hard top for convertible?

Does anybody make an aftermarket hard top for the convertible's? Or has anybody made a custom hard top?


It'd be nice to be able to drop the top when it gets hot

If you look at the roof when it's down, you'll see that you couldn't fit a hardtop as the folded roof would get in the way - and removing the roof to fit a hard top would be a frightening task, if you wanted it to be able to go back again.

...and the body, frame and support struts are different for each. If you want a drop-head, get a drop-head.
