Anyone have a photo of one on their car? A good quality glass roof would really brighten up the interior without the trouble of taking out the stock roof.

I bought a saratoga top about a year back. It's nice but too noisy at speed for me (I'm not really a guy that likes having the window open while driving). I should sell it but I've been very lazy about the whole process.

AndyK, will you be at RuttHut's next week? I can try to bring it over if you want to see how it looks.

Yeah, I'll be at Rutt's. If you can bring it without annoying yourself, it would be cool to see it!

Thanks Dan! Looks...well, like most cars look with moon roofs! Too bad they add a ton of noise to an already noisey interior.

I think Danno is right that if you adjust the micro switch it should make the saratoga top quiet. I know I was playing around with mine one time and got to seal better.

What is the micro switch? (I've never heard of this before). I'll try to remember to bring the top next week!

The motor for the sun roof is in the rear on the drivers side behind the carpet. There are little switches on there that tell the motor when to stop when going up and down. Those little switches are the micro switches.

Can it be converted to Manual?
