Just a mad thought on a boring evening at work- Is there any reason why you couldn't make a hardtop for a convertible out of 1mm sheet, some rubbers and a heated rear windscreen off of ebay? Obviously one reason would be it's very difficult to make one that fits well, I am not in any hurry though and I reckon I could do something half decent for just over £100 if I can figure out/procure cheaply the mountings. Buying one in this case is upwards of £350 so it could be quite a saving.
Structurally obviously it wouldn't be any good in a rollover situation, but neither would the soft top which is on the car at the moment and the front windscreen pillars I believe are designed to take the weight in this case if the worst happens.
Bad idea? Basically I saw THIS THREAD and started getting ideas...
