Removable Fiberglas Hardtop?

[Carnut]

Has anyone ever produced a removable Fiberglas Hardtop for the PT Convertible?

I'm just not an al fresco kinda guy.

Had a 69 Corvette Roadster with both tops and once I put the Hardtop on it I never took it off.

Also had an 88 Suzuki Samurai that i bought a Fiberglas top for it and never took it off once I installed it.



So just wondering if anything was available.

Nope!

As per the longest running retailer in the PT Cruiser aftermarket parts CMS.

I looked into this for a customer a few years ago and found a couple fiberglass /fabrication shops willing to take on the project. Around $3000 -3500 and a semi good soft top for a template and your PT Cruiser from about 3-6 weeks.


I had a 1979 1/2 Limited MGB with a Snug Top hardtop and never took it off once I installed it.

To each their own, but why put a fiberglass hard top on a convertible and leave it on? I've always liked convertibles because I can drop the top.

Wait!

We are all forgetting about the famous "very high quality" how-to book that you can buy for only $19.95 that shows you how to building your own.

Now that's a removable hardtop I'd get

The hardtop was a section from the donor coupe car and would not really work for a convertible conversion hardtop.
Lots of welding and fabrication involved for the final fitment.

Yep. All that hard work and even the marketing photos look like something my wife's crazy uncle would build over the weekend while on a beer binge.

Nope. It's Burt. And the guy in your photo is not near far out enough. Burt recently traded his John Deer side-by-side ATV for a Harley like he used to have when it was younger. I've been expecting to get the sad phone call for about a month now. But not yet.

Chester is actually a pretty nice guy. I got in touch with him about his PT Coupe, and if I had the money, I'd do that to mine. That would really piss the wife off and probably lead to divorce. Anyone want to lend me some money?
