UK Saratoga
Here's my Zermatt Silver 968 with it's new Saratoga roof.
Unfortunately here in Manchester, England, it's grey and cloudy most days for the next 6 months, so I'll have to wait a while to get the full benefit of all that extra glass.

Thanks to Pilkington and all the guys in the USofA who pushed this through over the last few years.
Regards,
Yachtie

Anybody else having issues with the front popping up at speed? I witnessed it in Eddie's car and it has done the same thing on mine. The front clips were secure for about a week and now are very loose. I don't feel comfortable with this at all!

I am in Florida now so can't take a picture, but the front left corner is sitting high and the clip will not pull it down. I can push down with my hand but it pops back up as soon as I drive anywhere. This produces quite a bit of wind noise as well.

hey whatever goes between you and eddie is not my business, J/k . Okay on a serious note, do the old legacy have the same issue, I remember having 2 or 3 saratogas in the past 10 years I couldn't use them on hot sunny days in California the heat through the glass was too much to bear, but I don't remember the latches coming loose

In my opinion the binders are engineered incorrectly. They should be threaded so you can screw them down snug, prior to locking the clasp into place. I have seen this design on several other vehicles. I think this is the root of the issue. I have an old '85 RX-7 with a Saratoga top. Since I am here working on this car I will post a picture. It still seals fine after all these years, but is a different design.
