Also can't do the grey at this point because of a raw material shortage. The grey glass will need to come from a different source and would up the cost significantly.

This maybe a rhetorical question, but I need to confirm.... You will NOT be running the Silver or Gray version of the top only the Bronze ......
I don't have one of these, but in a earlier post one suggested that if you have a sliver car (which I do) I should go with the Silver /Gray version ... ???
TIA
Best regards

Well, the frame tends to separate from the glass (usually up by one, or both, of the hinges) and will cause the most annoying, incessant metal-on-glass squaking you've ever heard.
Even though I never close the hatch with one hand, I have had to reseal it a few years ago and it is already starting to re-separate...

Does anyone have pics of how the bronze finish would look on a black car?
Also, are the tops being produced going to work 100% with a '91 UK car with an electric roof? I'd love to buy one but need to know it will work first.

I wasn't being sarcastic ( which I usually am)
Silver and gold may look a little strange but I may have no other choice

80's cars were cool, but mine is a late model and doesn't look too dated. If like to keep it that way with any luck.

My car is black (not metallic paint). I guess how it will look may depend on the exact finish of the sunroof. Ive not seen one in person so it's hard to judge.

I like the bronze color/look... I have a skylight in my kitchen and it looks and works great. It's only because my car is Sliver (no less, Sliver Rose) that I thought it might conflict??

My post below has a pic my black car with a bronze roof, but it is pretty hard to see the color. I can try to get a better pic this weekend.

PilkClassics, this is a picture of my Saratoga. I think this is identical to the ones you will produce. You can see the seal on mine is totally gone and the movement of the roof has damaged the paint. Is there a chance I could get a new seal from this production run or have you put a new seal on this roof?
