Default Targa Owners - Removable glass roof...

GTN - Automotive who created a design that allows you to turn your 996 or 997 cab into a traditional Targa have turned their attention to classic Targas and created a removable glass panel among their GTS - Top range. It's designed to be more rigid than the original design (non folding), reduce wind noise and have tighter more efficient seals.

No affiliation.

Small feature on pg 29 of '911 & Porsche World' issue 218 - May 2012.

Works out to about $1600 US (shipping wont be cheap)
While pricey I got alot more than that for a as new Saratoga top (which didnt work on the 964)

What I got from reading the translation is that these are skins that go over your frame and fittings, not an entire new roof.

Nah ,,cannot be just a skin at kidney money.

If it is, there is plenty of people in the moulding game in the uk who can make that for less.

Just needs a duffer roof needing a retrim and it could be done,,say that who would want a perpex roof with all the frame showing!!!

Nah it's gotta be good for that money?


I HOPE TELL US MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
