Input Needed

My car wont see snow, so I'm not concerned of the weight of snow or anything caving it in. My Concern is the structural integrity of the car being compromised. I was thinking weld in a support at the front, and at the rear, above the headliner for extra support.. I need opinions. The car will never be auto crossed, but "spirited driving" is my thing lol. This is one of my "big plans" that I was going to keep under wraps, but I dont want to ruin my car so i have to ask.. Any/all opinions/advise is appreciated! Thanks! -Paul

Oh and BTW, My roof racks leak, and I hate when people sit in the back of my car and ask "how does the sunroof open", well, vista roof doesn't open. I figure this would take care of both of those issues.

Those fold back sunroofs are great. They can stand up to heavy snow. Go for it.

Go for the full length roof! That'd be wicked pissah!

And as far as structure goes, it should be fine. It's not a uni-body car.

That's what I wanted to hear full length open roof it will be!

DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!

Got in touch with the company today to get a price. The full sliding ragtop, front to back, made specifically for the b-body wagons, is $795.00 which I think is a good price! Gotta svae a little bit of $, but I should have this done and installed by spring

Wow, thats a huge project. Good luck man!!!

Glass? Its a sliding ragtop.. the kit comes complete, drop in from what I understand.. i just have to cut a HUGE hole in my roof, and then modify the headliner..

Oh, I didnt get it.
I was wondering why noone was concerned about structural integrity w/ glass.
OK I'm on board now.

Would love to see that on my wagon too

Isn't there a bump on the Roadmaster roofs at the vista glass?

I dont think so, the Vista glass is there, then theres a roof rack filler thing at the back of the glass that turns into the roof racks.. Just so the vista glass doesnt just abruptly end.. I i think? Theres a roady at the junk yard with the vista glass removed, i didnt look at because i wasnt planning on this then, but it was just a smaller hole cut in the roof.. didnt notice a bump?
