One of the advantages to acrylic/lexan is that it's much easier to drill. That said, if that one acrylic dude could produce the windows and then market it as a DIY kit, you could keep cost down, as well as liability. Just make sure the window fits on its own...

And I'd still prefer the electric roof, thanks.


Can anyone post a pic of the mounting hardware for the original Saratogas?

The patent is expired, but beware of patents published afterwards that detail certain modifications to the parent concept.

I could see someone breaking even on it, but it would be very hard to cut a profit.

I have an issue of excellence from 1990 he was selling them for 399.00 all day long, but gas was .89 per gallon as well. Id pay 600.00 for one in glass, 450.00 in plexi. Considering I would only see out of half of it.Figures, his wife would F#$% the business up, no offense to you ladies.

Im thinking 400-500 range as well considering the going price of a 944.
I have 4500 invested right now in mine and would never spend 1000+ for a non-performance part

Sorry if this is off-topic, but I'm wondering if any of you that are knowledgeable about the Saratoga tops can point me in the right direction to replace the weather stripping? I have one of these tops, but have never used it because the weather stripping is shot. Thanks!

Would a normal 944 sunroof seal work?

I would spend $10 on one... Maybe less...

$1000 on something like that makes me want to bang my head into the wall..
