Hard Tops Anyone ?

Does anyone know were and what hardtops are avalibe for speedsters

I think FiberSteel is the name of the company that makes one, but I was told if it wasn't ordered and fitted with your car when it was being built, its a BEEOTCH to fit. I would love to have a hardtop and phoned Henry about it, and he told me they stopped offering a hardtop on the Speedsters because fit was a problem. The Roadster still has that option from them, but I think the way I drive the car (had the top up once to see how it felt, didn't like it) I have decided the couple thousand dollars is not worth it for me.

Also, check out several of the threads on this subject. E.G. https://www.speedsterowners.com/forum/readmsg.asp?t=6938

There were two onm Ebay yesterday...one for Speedsters and one for Verts.

I am making a hardtop mould right now for a CMC.

ohhh mannnnnn, but you're in Thailand :(

any luck hooking up with the folks from the thai vw club?

Stay tuned the buyer(wishes to remain un-named) of my hard top may very well produce them and some other really neat stuff.

BTW I got a reply from Russ at Fiber Steel regarding sliding windows

......."I'm sorry to inform you that the slide windows fit original Speedsters, however the replicas are all different and I have not been able to fit them."

Yeah buyer, I know who you are and I am still waiting on that other thing too.

buyer,

Please keep me / us informed when you are ready to sell one / some

I have a FiberSteel hardtop for my '02 Vintage. I wholeheartedly agree with Steve Galat's 6/01/05 comments on the fit and practicality of the hardtop (and Speedsters in general). See James's link. That being said, the car looks very cool with the hardtop, but it is a PITA to put it on.

Sea freight from Thailand is not so bad if shipped in quantity. Labour is cheap enough that it might make sense for a group buy.

Any intrest?
