Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted March 12, 2016 Moderators Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Bonnet bra? More like a boob-lube if it deflects the rain through the sunroof! Looking good though, especially on the gold............. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great idea as you could use a vinyl with a matt finish maybe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted March 12, 2016 Moderators Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Hmm, i have a roll of black, self adhesive film, not quite gloss but not matt either. Also picked up a roll of plastic wood effect stuff the other daywhich will be ideal for the Jeep as that has loads of genuine plastic wood (must be an Ohio thing ) so if the wood effect stuff works in the Jeep, i'll try the black on the coupé bumper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won it at auction on eBay for £3,418 and remember how nerve racking it was. ps I didn't win the Bloke in the passenger seat.....he's my bezzie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go back 40-50 years and vinyl roofs were all the rage then they died out in the 80s, perhaps with the rising phoenix of the soft-top and people saying "i didn't buy a soft top, i don't want it to look like i have" which of course tended to be mainly yuppy led - if they had a soft top then they definitely wanted a soft top look. Personally i've always liked them and think they can really set a car off. A friend rolled his Mini and when it was repaired they fitted a vinyl roof as it was cheaper than respraying it. It was Trafalgar Blue (the lighter 80s version of Trafalgar Blue) and the vinyl roof was a couple of shades lighter - really looked good on it, better in fact than the pre-rolled car! Been thinking of a vinyl roof for mine for a long time now, still unsure but maybe one day i'll decide! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welland99 Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 How, exactly, is it fixed on? And what does it do? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted March 14, 2016 Moderators Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Yyou know when you have the sunroof slid back, you sometimes get that buffeting thing? It's meant to prevent that by deflecting the air over the roof hole rather than into it. Not sure how it's fixed though........... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what does it do? The clue is in its name but even with roof closed the car is even quieter which I hadn't noticed before and when the sunroof is fully retracted it eliminates the annoying noise and rush of wind in the car and to be honest didn't really notice the roof was open noise wise so it works 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators hughezee Posted March 14, 2016 Author Administrators Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Also regards to attachment it has two hex bolts with plastic nuts which tighten two little hooks that latch in into the metal part of the cars roof so easy install 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drove with my sunroof open the other day and had that air pressure thing. I normally solve it by opening one of the windows a fraction. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
