I am looking for feed back and advice on a split roof, as looking to buy one.

All comments and advice appreciated.

Morning! What advice are you looking for? I bought a second hand roof panel recently to split and it's been very successful. Here's my thread. https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

I have no knowledge on the proprietary items currently for sale on FB but my home-grown jobbie worked well. The trick is to either cut your original roof (only for the very brave yikes) or to find a reasonably priced second hand item (they're like hen's teeth) and do it yourself. thumbup

Happy to discuss if you want any details. (And yes, it's 100% waterproof, both driving and stationary in the rain.)

Thanks, I am not that brave to modify my existing top, as you say they are becoming rare... I have come across advertising a split roof untrimmed and just seeing how people found them before committing...

Plus only just had my car retrimmed and by mistake they did my hard top too...

If you've a refurbed top why not just stick with it?

It's for easy of use, standard roof is a pain getting in and out of boot... with split roof would not have to carefully position it into boot...

Nah...you are just lacking technique!

Try stowing a Griff roof if you want pain!

A grief roof isn’t too bad, just technique and super discipline in not keeping crap in the boot.
